In Case of Fire  
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.  
Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.  
Cooking Safety (cont.)  
Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from  
steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as  
potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite  
or get caught on appliance parts.  
Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.  
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or  
foam-type extinguisher to extinguish fire or flame. Let fat cool before  
attempting to handle it.  
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before  
attempting to move or handle.  
DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in  
or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to  
prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming  
foods under the hood, turn the fan off.  
Child Safety  
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it  
is in use or is still hot.  
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as  
they could be injured or burned.  
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children  
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.  
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.  
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.  
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children  
should not be allowed to play with controls of other parts of the  
appliance.  
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or  
long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil  
handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles.  
These items could ignite and cause burns.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions.  
If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is  
otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and  
its container. The food could be contaminated.  
If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE  
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.  
Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation  
Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat  
and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen  
is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a  
mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the  
appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more  
effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical  
ventilation if present).  
Cooking Safety  
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet  
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is  
provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and  
which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.  
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids,  
cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure  
you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the  
correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When  
cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent  
exposure to burner flame.  
Cookware Safety  
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay  
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled  
pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles  
as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move  
when filled with food may also be hazardous.  
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond  
the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes  
energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the  
appliance. This is based on safety considerations.  
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when  
using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon  
as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.  
DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may  
cause the container to explode and result in injury.  
Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid  
boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure  
pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well  
as the bubble action of fat.

Cookware Safety (cont.)  
Important notice regarding pet birds:  
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over  
adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or  
back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or  
reached by small children.  
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the  
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes  
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated  
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.  
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the  
appliance.  
About Your Appliance  
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.  
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed cookware  
are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden  
change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when  
using glass.  
WARNING  
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent  
potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT  
use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cooking utensils  
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional  
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not  
specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for

in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance  
problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.  
The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of  
the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of  
adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the cookware.  
This is based on safety considerations.  
Power Failure  
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt  
should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.  
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The cooktop is affected  
only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the cooktop  
will function properly without any adjustments.

Surface Operation  
Surface Operation  
Lighting Burners  
All burners are ignited by electric ignition.  
There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.  
The simmer line on the control panel is the beginning of the variable  
simmer setting and produces a high simmer setting. Turn the knob  
slowly towards “OFF” and the flame will adjust to a lower simmer  
setting.  
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition  
Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in cookware that are  
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron. Reduce  
the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cookware  
diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cookware and  
reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.  
Reduce the flame if it is extended beyond the bottom of the cookware.  
A flame that extends along the sides of the cookware is potentially  
dangerous, heats the cookware handle and kitchen instead of the food,  
and wastes energy.  
Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the  
desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a  
gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is  
necessary causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients.  
To light the surface burners, push and turn the  
appropriate control knob counterclockwise to  
any position. This control is both a gas valve  
and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the  
automatic re-ignition system. If  
the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if  
the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the  
electric igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a  
“clicking” sound. If you do not, turn  
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or  
circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.  
Rear and Front Burners  
Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the desired setting.  
The control knobs can be turned to any desired setting as the knobs do  
not have fixed positions between “Hi” and “Simmer”.  
Surface Heat Settings*  
*Note: The above information is given as a guide only. You may need to  
vary the heat settings to suit your personal requirements.  
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to  
light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to  
adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired  
cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in  
superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Burner Head  
Stainless Steel Parts  
If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT  
enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports.  
When replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs underneath the  
burner head with the outside edge of burner base. Make sure the tabs are  
not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.  
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water  
at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for that  
material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool,  
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to  
remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the  
material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal  
knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT  
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid  
will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™  
and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.  
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a  
zip seal bag with ammonia.  
Brass Parts  
All special ordered brass parts are coated with epoxy.  
Burner Base  
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of  
each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or  
powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to  
loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon spatula. DO NOT use a  
metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.  
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.  
• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.  
CAUTION  
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.  
DO NOT USE BRASS CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON  
ANY BRASS PARTS. All brass body parts should be wiped regularly  
with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not do the job, use  
every day household cleaners that are not abrasive.  
Cooktop Surfaces  
Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning  
instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,  
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH  
AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN  
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.  
Control Panel  
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or stainless  
steel cleaners on any surface that contains graphics. They could remove  
the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean  
cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto control panel.  
Control Knobs  
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF”  
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in  
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly  
onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives.
