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 Appliance—Flammable 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 Size—Adjust 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.

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
Settings—Boilovers 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 120V—60 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.

WRONG
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.
