COOKTOP USE
This manual covers several different models. The range you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations and
appearances of the features shown here may not match those of your model.
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. If
you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is included
with your new range. See the “Gas Conversions” section of the
Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned on.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner that has
been turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Cooktop Burners
High Performance Burner
There is 1 high speed burner on the cooktop, located in the right
front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking that can
be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for large-quantity
cooking.
Simmer Burners
Simmer burners are located in the left or right rear positions. The
simmer burner offers a lower Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or
melting chocolate.
Power Failure
Surface Burners
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to ignite. After burner lights, turn knob to
desired setting.
