IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating this appliance. ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage • • • • • • • Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners. NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow Cookware Safety • • • • • • • • Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous. Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers.
Before Using Cooktop All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. All models include: • Automatic electric spark ignition/re-ignition burners light at any position on the knob and re-light if extinguished. • Removable knobs, grates, burner ports/caps. • Permanently sealed burners—spills cannot enter burner box.
Surface Operation Lighting Burners All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots. Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counterclockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the automatic re-ignition system.
Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. *Note: When replacing burner head, carefully align the tab underneath the cap with the slot in the burner base. Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid.
Cleaning and Maintenance use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately. Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and/or Remedy Igniters will not work. Circuit is tripped. Fuse is blown. Cooktop is not connected to power. Igniters sparking but no flame ignition. Gas supply valve is in “OFF” position.
