Grounding Instructions
(electric ignition models only)
IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This appliance is equipped with a 3 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.
For personal safety, this cooktop must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,
the power cord must be plugged into a 120V—60 Hz. outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.
If a two-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal
responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS COOKTOP FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION
AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE COOKTOP USING A
TWO-PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.
Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion
Severe shock or damage to the cooktop may occur if the cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or
electrician.
This appliance can be used with Natural Gas and Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with Liquefied Petroleum (propane) gas, for some models you should order the
conversion kit from your local dealer or from an authorized service agency (see Warranty). See the installation instructions for
the conversion kit number (for models with sealed burners only).
For other models the conversion kit is included in the packaging, if you wish to convert your cooktop for use with propane gas,
use the supplied fixed orifices located in the package containing the installation instruction, in a bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANE
GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices (for models with sealed burners only).
For models with open burners, see the installation instructions guide for the conversion instructions.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all
codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Flame Size
For most cooking
, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete
the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of
cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence
the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying
,
use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the
fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown
so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at
once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.
Avoid fire hazard or
electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor
plug, an extension cord, or remove
grounding prong from electrical power
cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire or death.
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding prong.

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
Never extend the flame
beyond the outer edge of
the utensil. A higher flame
simply wastes heat and
energy, and increases your
risk of being burned by the
flame.
