IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to

persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide

poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above the cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop

to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Proper Installation – The cooktop, when installed, must be

electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1

. Be sure

the cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician.

■ This cooktop is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for

your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged

directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or

remove the grounding prong from this plug.

■ Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the cooktop.

■ Injuries may result from the misuse of the cooktop such as

stepping, leaning, or sitting on the top surface.

■ Maintenance – Keep cooktop area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors

and liquids.

■ Storage on the cooktop – Flammable materials should not be

stored on or near surface units.

■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend

beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

KEY USAGE TIPS

LP Gas Conversion

IMPORTANT: This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If

you wish to use Liquid Propane (LP), call a licensed professional to

install the LP gas conversion kit (included).

Placement of Burner Heads and Caps

All burner caps and burner bases should be properly installed BEFORE

operating the cooktop. Check that each burner has the right size head

and cap.

Refer to the “Assembling Your Cooktop” section for proper burner head

placement details.

Lighting the Burners

IMPORTANT: All burners will click/spark when a knob is pushed in. A

burner will light only if the knob is pushed in then turned

counterclockwise to IGNITE.

To light the burners:

1. Push in the knob.

2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. Wait until you see a

flame.

3. Turn the knob anywhere between Hi and Lo to the desired setting.

Power failure: In case of a power failure, burners can be lit manually.

Hold a lit match near the burner and turn the knob counterclockwise to

IGNITE.

Cleaning the Burner: Tips

The burners should be kept clean. Spillovers should be cleaned

immediately since they can clog the openings in the burners.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the

cooktop is cool. For more information, see the “Care and Cleaning”

section.

■ Remove the burner cap from the base. Clean the burner cap with

hot soapy water and then rinse it.
