THESE BURNERS. Surface burners may be hot even though the  
flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot  
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let  
clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they  
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the  
cooktop and the surfaces facing the cooktop.  
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an • Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be w orn w hile using the appliance. Do not let  
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.  
Never use your appliance for w arming or  
heating the room.  
• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the  
appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals.  
All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician.  
This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the  
cooktop.  
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire  
w ith a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or  
foam-type extinguisher.  
• Never modify or alter the construction of a cooktop by  
removing panels, w ire covers, or any other part of the  
product.  
When heating fat or grease, w atch it closely. Fat orgrease may  
catch fire if allowed to become too hot.  
Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot  
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the  
potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or other  
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.  
Stepping or leaning on this cooktop can result  
in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the cooktop.  
Do not allow children to climb or play around the cooktop.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of  
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.  
• Storage on ApplianceFlammable materials should not be  
stored on the cooktop, near surface burners. This includes  
paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and  
towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such  
as aerosol cans, on the cooktop. Flammable materials may  
explode and result in fire or property damage.  
Know w hich knob controls each surface burner. Always turn  
the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually  
check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not  
extend beyond the edge of the utensil.  
Do not store items of interest to children in  
the cabinets above the cooktop.  
Use Proper Flame SizeAdjust flame size so it  
does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of  
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct  
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of  
utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
(continued)  
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inw ard and Not Extend Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/  
Over Adjacent Surface BurnersTo reduce the risk of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional  
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be  
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over  
adjacent surface burners.  
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are  
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden  
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer' s  
recommendations for cooktop use.  
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner  
isaccidentallyturned on, the decorative coverwillbecome hot and  
possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner  
is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage  
may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers  
may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and  
cause combustion problems.  
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat  
SettingsBoilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that  
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.  
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface  
burner pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in the  
Cooking Guide. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil  
may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion.  
Damage to the cooktop or personal injury may result.

Grounding Instructions  
(electric ignition models only)  
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.  
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.  
For personal safety, this cooktop must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,  
the plug must be plugged into a 120V60 Hz. outlet that is correctly polarized and  
properlygrounded.  
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 OVEN FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION  
AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN USING A  
TWO-PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one  
to complete the process. Use the chart below asa guide fordetermining properflame  
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.  
Flame Size  
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.  
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.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear,  
blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady  
and sharplydefined. Adjust orclean burnerifflame isyellow-orange. To clean burner,  
see instructions under General Cleaning.  
Proper Burner  
Adjustments  
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is  
turned to the LITE position. Two ignitors (one per set of burners) are supplied.  
Setting Surface  
Controls  
To operate the surface burner:  
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.  
2. Push in and turn the Surface Controlknob to LITE. Onlythe burneryou are turning  
on will ignite.  
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.  
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The  
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and  
adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE  
position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position,  
causing premature wear.)  
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually.  
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the  
surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.  
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,  
spoon holders or plastic w rappings on top of the range w hen it is in use.  
These itemscould melt orignite. Potholders, towelsorwood spoonscould catch fire  
if placed too close to a flame.
