COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

IMPORTANT:

Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural

Gas. If you wish to use L.P. Gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is

included with your new range. See the instructions included with

the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this conversion.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when

control knobs are turned to LITE.

The large burners (15,000 BTU [British Thermal Units]) provide

the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities

of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners

(6,000 BTU) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest

setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using

smaller pots and pans.

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 the clicking sound. If you do not hear the

igniter click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a tripped circuit

breaker or blown 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.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation

of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not

provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and

occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a

trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see if it is

wired with the correct polarity.

To Set:

Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control

knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the

edge of the pan.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or fire.
