				IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   
					IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE   
					• The California Safe Drinking Water and   
					Toxic Enforcement Act requires the   
					Governor of California to publish a list   
					of substances known to the state to cause   
					cancer, birth defects or other reproductive   
					harm, and requires businesses to warn   
					customers of potential exposure to such   
					substances.   
					• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to   
					four of these substances, namely benzene,   
					carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,   
					caused primarily by the incomplete   
					combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.   
					Properly adjusted burners, indicated by   
					a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will   
					minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure   
					to these substances can be minimized by   
					venting with an open window or using a   
					ventilation fan or hood.   
					SAFETY PRECAUTIONS   
					When using your appliance, follow basic safety   
					precautions, including the following:   
					• Have the installer show you the location of   
					the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to   
					turn it off if necessary.   
					• Be sure all packing materials are removed   
					from the cooktop before operating it to   
					prevent fire or smoke damage should the   
					packing material ignite.   
					• Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic   
					path and out of drafty locations and areas   
					with poor air circulation.

					• Le California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic   
					Enforcement Act exige que le Gouverneur de   
					Californie publie une liste de substances que   
					l’on sait causer des anomalies congénitales   
					ou d’autres déficiences de reproduction et   
					exige que les entreprises mettent en garde   
					leurs clients contre une exposition possible   
					à ces substances.   
					• Les appareils ménagers à gaz peuvent causer   
					une exposition mineure aux substances   
					suivantes : le benzène, le monoxyde de   
					carbone, le formaldéhyde et la suie,   
					produites principalement par la combustion   
					incomplète de gaz naturel ou de carburants

				IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   
					SAFETY PRECAUTIONS   
					• Use this appliance only for its intended use   
					• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments   
					while using the appliance. Be careful when   
					reaching for items stored over the cooktop.   
					Flammable material could be ignited if   
					brought in contact with surface burners,   
					burner grates or oven heating elements   
					and may cause severe burns.   
					as described in this manual.   
					• Be sure your appliance is properly installed   
					and grounded by a qualified technician in   
					accordance with the provided installation   
					instructions.   
					• Do not attempt to repair or replace any   
					part of your cooktop unless it is specifically   
					recommended in this manual. All other   
					servicing should be referred to a qualified   
					technician.   
					• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp   
					pot holders on hot surfaces may result in   
					burns from steam. Do not let pot holders   
					touch surface burners or burner grates.   
					Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.   
					• Before performing any service,   
					DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP   
					POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD   
					DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING   
					THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE   
					CIRCUIT BREAKER.   
					• When cooking, do not touch the surface   
					burners, burner grates, grill or griddle   
					(on some models) or the surrounding areas.   
					These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.   
					During and after use, do not touch, or   
					• Do not leave children alone—children   
					should not be left alone or unattended in   
					an area where an appliance is in use. They   
					should never be allowed to sit or stand on   
					any part of the appliance.   
					let clothing or other flammable materials   
					contact the surface burners, grill or griddle   
					(on some models), or areas near the surface   
					burners; allow sufficient time for cooling first.   
					Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,   
					areas facing the cooktop and the drip tray   
					handles.   
					• Do not store flammable materials near the   
					cooktop.   
					• Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or   
					combustible materials on top of the optional   
					high shelf.   
					• Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters   
					clean to maintain good venting and to avoid   
					grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case   
					of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor   
					or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower,   
					if in operation, could spread the flames.   
					• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO   
					CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED   
					IN CABINETS ABOVE A COOKTOP OR   
					ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A COOKTOP— • DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion   
					CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE   
					COOKTOP TO REACH ITEMS COULD   
					BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.   
					or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure   
					a fresh air supply is available.   
					• For your safety, never use your appliance for   
					warming or heating the room.

				AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ   
					PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ   
					• N’utilisez cet appareil qu’aux fins prévues   
					• Ne portez jamais de vêtements lâches ou   
					traînants quand vous utilisez votre cuisinière.   
					Faites attention quand vous allez chercher   
					des articles qui sont rangés au-dessus de   
					votre cuisinière. Des matières inflammables   
					peuvent prendre feu si elles sont mises   
					en contact avec les brûleurs de surface,   
					les grilles de brûleur ou les éléments de   
					chauffage du four et peuvent occasionner   
					des brûlures sérieuses.   
					décrites dans ce Manuel du propriétaire.   
					• Assurez-vous que votre appareil soit bien   
					installé et mis à la terre par un technicien   
					qualifié conformément aux instructions   
					d’installation fournies.   
					• N’essayez jamais de réparer ou de remplacer   
					une pièce de votre cuisinière, à moins que   
					nous ne le recommandions spécifiquement   
					dans ce manuel. Tout autre entretien ou   
					réparation doit être effectué par un   
					technicien qualifié.   
					• N’utilisez que des poignées de casserole   
					sèches. Des poignées de casseroles humides   
					ou mouillées sur des surfaces chaudes   
					peuvent occasionner des brûlures dues à   
					la vapeur. Ne laissez jamais de poignée   
					de casserole s’approcher des brûleurs   
					de surface ou des grilles de brûleur.   
					• Avant d’effectuer un entretien ou   
					une réparation, DÉBRANCHEZ   
					L’ALIMENTATION DE COURANT DE   
					VOTRE CUISINIÈRE AU NIVEAU DU   
					TABLEAU DE DISJONCTEURS DE LA   
					MAISON, EN ENLEVANT LE FUSIBLE OU   
					EN FAISANT BASCULER LE DISJONCTEUR.   
					N’utilisez jamais de serviette ou de linge   
					épais à la place d’une poignée de casserole.   
					• Quand vous cuisez, ne touchez jamais les   
					brûleurs de surface, les grilles de brûleur,   
					la grille ou le grill (sur certains modèles),   
					ni les surfaces avoisinantes.   
					• Ne laissez jamais des enfants sans   
					surveillance—vous ne devez jamais laisser   
					des enfants seuls ou sans surveillance dans   
					un emplacement où un appareil ménager est   
					utilisé. Vous ne devez jamais leur permettre   
					de s’asseoir ou de monter sur une partie de   
					l’appareil ménager.   
					Ces surfaces peuvent être chaudes et vous   
					brûler.   
					Pendant et après toute utilisation, ne touchez   
					jamais, ou ne laissez jamais vos vêtements ou   
					tout autre matériau inflammable en contact   
					avec les brûleurs de surface, la grille ou le   
					gril (sur certains modèles), ou les surfaces   
					avoisinant les brûleurs de surface; laissez-leur   
					suffisamment de temps pour se refroidir.   
					• Ne rangez jamais de matières inflammables   
					à proximité de la table de cuisson.   
					• Ne rangez jamais de matière plastique,   
					de liquide inflammable ou de matériau   
					combustible sur l’étagère en option.   
					• MISE EN CAUSE : VOUS NE DEVEZ   
					JAMAIS RANGER DES ARTICLES QUI   
					RISQUENT D’INTÉRESSER LES ENFANTS   
					DANS DES ARMOIRES SITUÉES AU-   
					DESSUS DE VOTRE CUISINIÈRE OU SUR

					7 
				IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   
					SAFETY PRECAUTIONS   
					• Do not use water on grease fires. Never   
					pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.   
					Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit   
					by covering the pan completely with a   
					well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.   
					Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or   
					foam-type fire extinguisher.   
					• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of   
					the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in   
					a fire hazard or the obstruction of the flow   
					of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an   
					excellent heat insulator and heat will be   
					trapped underneath it. This trapped heat   
					can upset the cooking performance and   
					can damage the finish of the oven or the   
					cooktop.   
					Flaming grease outside a pan can be put   
					out by covering it with baking soda or,   
					if available, by using a multi-purpose dry   
					chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.   
					• Do not heat unopened food containers;   
					a build-up of pressure may cause the   
					container to burst.   
					• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE   
					MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER   
					FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN   
					THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER   
					APPLIANCE.   
					• Set the burner control so that the flame   
					heats only the bottom of the pan and does   
					not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.   
					Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU   
					burners can easily melt cookware handles.   
					• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable   
					materials accumulate in or near the cooktop.   
					Clean drip trays and liners after every use.   
					• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot   
					holder, to prevent movement of the utensil   
					when stirring or turning food.   
					• If you smell gas, the installer has not done   
					a proper job of checking for leaks. You can   
					have a small leak and therefore a faint gas   
					smell if the connections are not completely   
					tight.   
					• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.   
					• Always use the LITE position when igniting   
					the surface burners and make sure the   
					burners have ignited.   
					Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself   
					procedure. Some leaks can only be found   
					with the burner control in the ON position   
					and for your protection it must be done by   
					a qualified service technician. Never use an   
					open flame to locate a leak.   
					• Never leave the surface burners unattended   
					at high flame settings. Boilovers cause   
					smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch   
					on fire. If the burner flames are smothered   
					by a severe boilover which affects the ignitor,   
					unburned gas will escape into the room.   
					• If by some chance a burner goes out and   
					gas escapes, open a window or a door to   
					let the room air out. Do not attempt to   
					use the appliance until the gas has had   
					time to dissipate. Follow the instructions   
					in “What to do if You Smell Gas” on page 2.   
					• Do not let pot holders come near open   
					flames when lifting cookware. Do not use   
					a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a   
					pot holder.   
					• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition   
					of flammable materials and spillage, turn   
					cookware handles toward the side or back of   
					the cooktop without extending over adjacent   
					burners.

				AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ   
					PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ   
					• N’utilisez jamais d’eau sur les feux de   
					graisse. Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en   
					flammes. Mettez tous les boutons de réglage   
					en position OFF (arrêt). Arrêtez les flammes   
					d’une casserole placée sur un brûleur de   
					surface en la recouvrant complètement d’un   
					couvercle bien ajusté, d’une tôle à biscuits ou   
					d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un extincteur   
					d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à poudre.   
					• N’utilisez jamais de papier d’aluminium   
					pour recouvrir un élément du four ou de   
					la table de cuisson. L’utilisation de papier   
					d’aluminium peut occasionner un incendie   
					ou un arrêt de la circulation d’air de   
					combustion et de ventilation. Le papier   
					d’aluminium est un excellent isolant de la   
					chaleur et prend au piège toute la chaleur.   
					Cette chaleur prise au piège peut gêner la   
					cuisson et endommager le fini du four ou   
					de la table de cuisson.   
					Vous pouvez éteindre de la graisse en flamme   
					sortie d’une casserole en la couvrant de   
					bicarbonate de soude ou, si possible, en   
					utilisant un extincteur d’incendie polyvalent   
					à mousse ou à poudre.   
					• Ne réchauffez pas de contenants d’aliments   
					fermés; une augmentation de pression peut   
					faire exploser le contenant.   
					• NE RANGEZ JAMAIS OU N’UTILISEZ   
					JAMAIS DE MATIÈRE COMBUSTIBLE,   
					D’ESSENCE OU D’AUTRE VAPEUR OU   
					LIQUIDE INFLAMMABLE À PROXIMITÉ   
					DE CET APPAREIL OU DE TOUT AUTRE   
					APPAREIL MÉNAGER.   
					• Ajustez la taille de la flamme du brûleur de   
					surface de manière à ce qu’elle ne dépasse   
					pas le fond de la casserole. Une trop grande   
					flamme est dangereuse. Les brûleurs forts   
					peuvent facilement faire fondre les poignées   
					de casserole.   
					• Ne laissez jamais de graisse de cuisson ou   
					d’autre matière inflammable s’accumuler   
					dans votre cuisinière ou à proximité de votre   
					cuisinière. Nettoyez après chaque utilisation   
					les égouttoirs et les revêtements intérieurs.   
					• Tenez la casserole par sa poignée, à l’aide   
					d’un torchon sec, pour éviter tout mouvement   
					de l’ustensile quand vous remuez ou touillez   
					des aliments.   
					• Réchauffez toujours doucement les matières   
					grasses, et surveillez-les quand elles chauffent.   
					• Si vous sentez le gaz, c’est que l’installateur   
					n’a pas bien vérifié les fuites. Il est possible   
					que vous ayez une petite fuite et par   
					conséquent une faible odeur de gaz si les   
					raccords ne sont pas complètement étanches.   
					• Utilisez toujours le réglage en position LITE   
					(allumage) quand vous allumez les brûleurs   
					de surface et assurez-vous que les brûleurs   
					aient bien pris feu.   
					Vous NE pouvez PAS localiser vous-même une   
					fuite de gaz. On ne peut trouver certaines   
					fuites qu’avec les boutons de contrôle des   
					brûleurs en position ON (marche). Pour   
					votre protection, c’est un technicien qualifié   
					qui doit localiser toute fuite. N’essayez jamais   
					de localiser une fuite à l’aide d’une flamme.   
					• Ne laissez jamais vos brûleurs de surface   
					sans surveillance à un réglage de flammes   
					élevées. Les liquides bouillants causent des   
					débordements fumants et graisseux qui   
					peuvent prendre feu. Si les brûleurs sont   
					éteints par un débordement important qui   
					touche l’allumage, du gaz peut s’échapper   
					dans la pièce.   
					• Si, par hasard, un brûleur s’éteint et du gaz   
					s’échappe, ouvrez une fenêtre ou une porte   
					pour laisser sortir l’air de la pièce. N’essayez   
					jamais d’utiliser votre appareil ménager avant   
					que tout le gaz se soit dissipé. Suivez les   
					instructions de la page 2 “Que faire si   
					vous sentez le gaz.”   
					• Ne laissez jamais de poignée de casserole   
					s’approcher des flammes quand vous   
					soulevez une casserole. N’utilisez jamais de   
					serviette ou de linge épais à la place d’une   
					poignée de casserole.   
					• Pour minimiser la possibilité de brûlures,   
					d’ignition de matériel inflammable et de   
					renversement, tournez les poignées de   
					casserole vers le côté ou l’arrière de la   
					cuisinière sans les laisser dépasser sur des   
					brûleurs adjacents.

				IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   
					SURFACE COOKING   
					• Always turn the surface burners to OFF   
					before removing cookware.   
					• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be   
					certain that the controls for all burners are at   
					the OFF position and all grates are cool   
					before attempting to remove them.   
					• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high   
					flame setting.   
					• When flaming foods under the hood, turn   
					the fan on.   
					• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.   
					Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh   
					foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over • Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool   
					the sides of the pan.   
					before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting   
					grease deposits collect in the grill or the   
					griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after   
					each use.   
					• Use the least possible amount of fat for   
					effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling   
					the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers   
					when food is added.   
					• For proper lighting and performance of the   
					cooktop burners, keep the burner ports   
					clean. It may be necessary to clean these   
					when there is a boilover or when the burner   
					does not light, even though the electronic   
					ignitors click.   
					• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever   
					possible to prevent overheating fat beyond   
					the smoking point.   
					• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially   
					a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.   
					• After cleaning, it is important to make sure   
					the cap and burner port are properly aligned   
					with the burner base. Incorrect alignment   
					will produce poor burner performance.   
					Never operate the burner without all burner   
					parts in place.   
					• When using glass cookware, make sure it is   
					designed for cooktop cooking.   
					• If a combination of oils or fats will be used   
					in frying, stir together before heating or as   
					fats melt slowly.   
					• Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam   
					burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth   
					to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some   
					cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied   
					to a hot surface. Follow manufacturer’s   
					directions.   
					• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The   
					hot air from the vent may ignite flammable   
					items and will increase pressure in closed   
					containers, which may cause them to burst.   
					• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are   
					unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware   
					having flat bottoms large enough to properly   
					contain food and avoid boilovers and   
					• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty   
					meats or products which promote flare-up.   
					spillovers and large enough to cover burner   
					grate. This will both save cleaning time and   
					prevent hazardous accumulations of food,   
					since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the   
					cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles   
					that can be easily grasped and remain cool.   
					• If cooktop is located near a window, do not   
					hang long curtains that could blow over the   
					surface burners and create a fire hazard.   
					• Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned   
					off and the appliance is cool before using   
					any type of aerosol cleaner or cooking spray   
					on or around the appliance. The chemical   
					that produces the spraying action could, in   
					the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal   
					parts to corrode.   
					• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.   
					• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—   
					they may melt if left too close to the vent.

				AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ   
					CUISSON DE SURFACE   
					• Mettez toujours les boutons de contrôle des   
					brûleurs en position OFF (arrêt) avant d’enlever   
					• Éloignez toujours les articles en matière   
					plastique des brûleurs de surface.   
					les ustensiles de cuisine.   
					• Ne laissez jamais d’article en matière plastique   
					sur la table de cuisson. Il peut fondre s’il se   
					trouve trop près de l’évent.   
					• Surveillez bien les fritures d’aliments à réglage   
					de flammes élevées.   
					• Les aliments à frire doivent être aussi secs   
					que possible. Le givre sur les aliments surgelés   
					ou l’humidité sur les aliments frais peuvent   
					occasionner un bouillonnement de matières   
					grasses chaudes et un débordement de la   
					casserole.   
					• Pour éviter toute possibilité de brûlure, assurez-   
					vous toujours que les contrôles de tous les   
					brûleurs se trouvent en position OFF (arrêt)   
					et que toutes les grilles soient froides avant   
					d’essayer de les enlever.   
					• Si vous faites flamber des aliments sous la hotte,   
					mettez en marche le ventilateur.   
					• Utilisez le moins de matière grasse possible   
					pour faire frire en friture profonde ou basse.   
					Si vous mettez trop de matière grasse, cela peut   
					occasionner des débordements si vous ajoutez   
					des aliments.   
					• La graisse est inflammable. Laissez refroidir les   
					matières grasses chaudes avant d’essayer de les   
					traiter. Évitez de laissez des dépôts de matière   
					grasse s’accumuler dans le gril ou l’égouttoir.   
					Nettoyez ces surfaces après chaque usage.   
					• Utilisez autant que possible un thermomètre   
					profond à matières grasses pour empêcher les   
					matières grasses de surchauffer au-delà du point   
					de fumée.   
					• Pour bien allumer et faire fonctionner les   
					brûleurs de la table de cuisson, conservez   
					les orifices de brûleur propres. Vous devrez   
					peut-être les nettoyer s’il y a un débordement

					les allumeurs électroniques cliquent.   
					• N’essayez jamais de déplacer une casserole   
					de matière grasse chaude, en particulier une   
					friteuse à friture profonde. Attendez que la   
					matière grasse soit refroidie.   
					• Après les avoir nettoyés, vous devez bien aligner   
					le capuchon et l’orifice du brûleur à la base du   
					brûleur. Si vous ne les alignez pas bien, vous   
					obtiendrez un mauvais rendement du brûleur.   
					Ne faites jamais fonctionner un brûleur si toutes   
					ses pièces ne sont pas bien placées.   
					• Quand vous utilisez une casserole de verre,   
					assurez-vous qu’elle soit conçue pour la cuisson   
					sur table de cuisson.   
					• Si vous utilisez une combinaison d’huiles ou de   
					matières grasses pour vos fritures, mélangez   
					bien avant de chauffer ou pendant que les   
					matières grasses fondent doucement.   
					• Faites attention quand vous nettoyez la table   
					de cuisson. Évitez les brûlures dues à la vapeur.   
					N’utilisez jamais d’éponge ou de linge mouillé   
					pour nettoyer la table de cuisson quand elle est   
					chaude. Certains détergents produisent des   
					émanations délétères en contact d’une surface   
					chaude. Suivez les instructions du fabricant.   
					• Ne laissez aucun article sur la table de cuisson.   
					L’air chaud en provenance de l’évent peut   
					mettre feu à des articles inflammables et   
					augmenter la pression dans des contenants   
					fermés, qui peuvent exploser.   
					• N’utilisez jamais le gril pour cuire des aliments   
					excessivement gras ou des produits qui   
					favorisent la flambée.   
					• Utilisez toujours la bonne taille de casserole.   
					Évitez les casseroles qui sont instables ou qui   
					peuvent être facilement renversées. Choisissez   
					des casseroles qui ont des fonds plats   
					• Si la cuisinière est placée près d’une fenêtre,   
					ne pendez pas de rideaux longs qui peuvent   
					s’envoler sur les brûleurs de surface et   
					prendre feu.   
					suffisamment grands pour couvrir la grille du   
					brûleur. Pour éviter tout renversement, assurez-   
					vous que la casserole soit suffisamment grande   
					pour bien contenir toute la nourriture. Cela   
					économise du temps de cuisson et empêche   
					des accumulations dangereuses d’aliments, car   
					des renversements ou des débordements   
					importants sur votre cuisinière peuvent prendre   
					feu. Utilisez des casseroles qui ont des poignées   
					qui sont facilement saisies et restent froides.   
					• Assurez-vous que tous les boutons de réglage   
					de la table de cuisson soient en position OFF   
					(arrêt) et que votre appareil ménager soit froid   
					pour utiliser un produit nettoyant en aérosol   
					ou un aérosol de cuisine sur ou autour de   
					l’appareil. Les produits qui vaporisent peuvent,   
					en présence de chaleur, s’enflammer ou   
					corroder les pièces métalliques.

				Using Your Cooktop   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					Your surface burners are equipped with   
					electronic ignition which eliminates the   
					need for a standing pilot light.   
					In case of a power outage, you can light the   
					surface burners on your cooktop with a match.   
					Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn   
					the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme   
					caution when lighting burners this way.   
					Electronic   
					ignition &   
					automatic   
					reignition   
					All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds   
					when only one burner is being turned on.   
					Do not touch any of the burners when igniters   
					are clicking.   
					The burners on this cooktop will automatically   
					relight if the flame goes out. All burners will   
					spark while any one burner is relighting.   
					Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the   
					flame away from the flame sensor.   
					To light   
					a burner   
					Push the control knob down and turn it   
					counterclockwise to the LITE position.   
					To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,   
					as far as it will go, to the OFF position.   
					• All of the burners can be used for both   
					general cooking and simmering.   
					ER   
					LITE   
					• Do not operate a burner for an extended   
					period of time without cookware on the   
					grate. The finish on the grate may chip   
					without cookware to absorb the heat.   
					• For your convenience, the indicator lamp   
					in the bezel for each knob verifies the   
					burner is “ON”.   
					• Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”   
					when you finish cooking.   
					After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either   
					direction to adjust the flame size.   
					How   
					to select   
					flame size   
					Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or   
					reduce heat.   
					The flame size on a gas burner should match the   
					cookware you are using.   
					FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,   
					NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE   
					SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger   
					than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and   
					only serves to heat the handle.   
					NOTE: Use 10″ or larger diameter   
					cookware when using heat settings between   
					HI and X-HI.   
					13   
				Using Your Cooktop   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					All burners on the cooktop have two separate   
					flames: a simmer (lower) flame and a main   
					(upper) flame.   
					Dual-flame   
					burners   
					Simmering: Use simmer (SIM) to melt chocolate,   
					hold delicate sauces or for other foods requiring   
					low simmer heat.   
					Simmer Flame   
					Primary Cooking: Settings from LO to X-HI   
					will use both the main and simmer flames. Use   
					LO to HI for all purpose cooking. Use HI or   
					X-HI (highest setting) with 10″ or larger   
					diameter cookware.

				Using Your Cooktop   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is   
					recommended because it heats quickly   
					and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in   
					an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with   
					tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum   
					amounts of water.   
					Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for   
					either surface or oven cooking. It conducts   
					heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check   
					cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure   
					it can be used on gas cooktops.   
					Cookware   
					Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor   
					heating properties, and is usually combined   
					with copper, aluminum or other metals for   
					improved heat distribution. Combination   
					metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if   
					they are used at medium heat as the   
					manufacturer recommends.   
					Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will   
					give satisfactory results.   
					Enamelware: Under some conditions, the   
					enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow   
					cookware manufacturer’s recommendations   
					for cooking methods.   
					Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—   
					those for oven use only and those for surface   
					cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass   
					conductors heat very slowly.   
					Wok   
					cooking   
					All burner grates are designed to support   
					wok cooking. For easy access and additional   
					clearances to combustibles, we suggest using   
					a front burner for wok cooking.   
					Lift out one burner grate at the front. Turn   
					it over and replace in the grate frame. The   
					wok side is contoured to support a wok with   
					a round or bowl shaped bottom. This design   
					eliminates the need for a wok ring and will   
					accommodate most woks.   
					Check to be sure that your wok fits securely   
					and is stable when placed on the wok grate.   
					CAUTION: Good wok stability is best achieved   
					by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks   
					are not recommended. Avoid using woks with   
					extremely smooth, untextured, bottom surface   
					finishes as these may allow undesired rocking   
					of the wok in the grate cradle.   
					ATTENTION : Pour obtenir une bonne   
					stabilité de travail, il vaut mieux utiliser des   
					woks à fond rond. Les woks à fond plat ne sont   
					pas recommandés. Évitez d’utiliser des woks   
					dont le fond a une surface extrêmement lisse,   
					sans texture, car il peuvent occasionner un   
					balancement imprévu du wok dans le trou de   
					la grille.   
					15   
				Using Your Cooktop   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These   
					drippings will create minor puffs of flame for   
					a second or two. This is normal when cooking   
					on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have   
					a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray   
					the flare-up.   
					To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim   
					the fat from around the edges of steaks and   
					chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove   
					the fat from poultry, etc.   
					Excessive   
					grill flare-   
					ups and   
					flaming   
					When turning any kind of meat or poultry,   
					the melting fat will drop onto the grill radiant   
					and may create a flare-up. If this happens,   
					use a long-handled spatula to move the food   
					to another area.   
					If the flame becomes excessive, remove the   
					food from the grill. Lower the heat setting.   
					Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.   
					™ 
					Gourmet Radiant Tray   
					Flare ups are minimized because a Gourmet   
					™ 
					Radiant Tray, below the grille grate, directs   
					grease down to the drip pan before it begins   
					to burn.   
					Grill grates   
					(on some models)   
					The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates   
					are reversible. Place the side with the two   
					grooved tabs toward the back of the cooktop.   
					The grate will change color when subjected   
					to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface.   
					This is normal and does not affect the cooking   
					performance.   
					For best results, the grate should be seasoned   
					before the first use. Seasoning will insure a   
					stick-resistant cooking surface. If the grill has   
					not been used for a period of time, it should   
					be reseasoned.   
					To season the grill grate:   
					1 Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy   
					Side A   
					Side B   
					water to remove any manufacturing oils, etc.   
					2 Rinse with a mixture of 2 cups water and   
					1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.   
					The other side of the grate (side B) is   
					designed for delicate foods that need more   
					support while cooking, such as fish.   
					3 Using a heavy cloth, rub vegetable oil over   
					the entire surface of the rack. Do not use   
					corn oil, as it can get sticky.   
					Food cooked on this side achieves the same   
					flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The   
					intense heat from the grill radiant caramelizes   
					the fats and juices that are brought to the surface   
					of the food, giving it the barbecued flavor.   
					4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the   
					burner on to a medium setting. Turn the   
					burner off when the oil begins to smoke.   
					Allow grates to cool.   
					This gas grill may cook slightly faster than   
					you are used to.   
					5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.   
					The grill is now ready for use.   
					One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and   
					should be used for foods where you want the   
					fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger   
					patties. The ridges are sloped so the fat runs   
					toward the front of the grill, into a drain hole   
					and down to a drip tray below.   
					16   
				Using Your Cooktop   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					Remove the cover before lighting the burner.   
					The cover must be removed when using the grill.   
					Using the   
					grill   
					ER   
					LITE   
					Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the   
					drip tray and liners are in place and that you   
					have the grill racks turned to the side you want   
					for cooking.   
					(on some models)   
					Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the   
					control knob set on HI.   
					NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the   
					darker the grill marks will be on your food.   
					During cooking it may be necessary to adjust   
					the heat setting. The control knob may be set   
					to any position between HI and LO.   
					NOTE: The grill will take approximately   
					45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface   
					burners, which use electric igniters, the   
					grill uses a glow bar for ignition. It takes   
					approximately 45 seconds for the glow bar to   
					reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the   
					grill once the glow bar reaches temperature.   
					For proper searing and browning the grill   
					requires high heat.   
					With large pieces of meat or poultry you will   
					need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting   
					after the food has been seared. This lower   
					heat setting will allow the food to cook   
					through without burning the outside.   
					Marinades and barbecue sauce should be   
					added toward the end of cooking time. The   
					heat should be turned to low when sauces are   
					added.   
					Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.   
					When you are finished cooking, allow the grill   
					and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.   
					They should be cleaned each time they are used.   
					Replace the grill cover.   
					Models equipped with a grill have a Gourmet   
					Radiant Tray which distributes the heat from   
					the burners evenly across the grill area.   
					Gourmet   
					Radiant™   
					Tray   
					™ 
					The tray rests on pins at the front and the   
					back of the grille opening. Be sure the tray   
					is oriented to mate with front and rear   
					support pins.

					• When turning the meat over, always use   
					a spatula as it will not puncture the meat   
					allowing the juices to run out. This will help   
					to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only   
					once, as juices are lost when the meat is   
					repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat   
					after it has been cooked.   
					• The doneness of meat is affected by the   
					thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook   
					a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.   
					A steak should be at least 1″ thick to have   
					it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time   
					is affected by the temperature of the meat   
					when you start to cook it, the size and shape   
					of the cut and the kind of meat you are   
					cooking. The degree of doneness desired   
					also affects the time.   
					Grilling   
					hints   
					• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat   
					or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from   
					curling while they are being cooked, slit the   
					fat around the edges at about 2″ intervals.   
					To test for doneness, make a small cut in the   
					center of the meat.   
					• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,   
					“Rare beef is popular, but you should know   
					that cooking it to only 140°F means some   
					food poisoning organisms may survive.”

					The two outer screws are leveling screws.   
					Do not remove these two screws. They can be   
					turned to level the griddle or to provide a   
					forward slope to help grease and oils to drain   
					away from the food being cooked. After using   
					the griddle a few times you will be able to judge   
					the slope best for the foods you are cooking   
					and your personal preference.   
					When replacing the griddle flue cover, ensure   
					that the cover slips to the outside of the front and   
					back metal flanges of the fixed griddle assembly.   
					This will ensure a tight fit of the flue cover.

					may scour with a plastic scouring pad to   
					remove burned-on food particles.   
					Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth–don’t   
					reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps.   
					Burner   
					grates   
					Cast-iron burner grates should be washed   
					regularly and especially after spillovers.   
					Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse   
					with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth–   
					don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.   
					Grates   
					To get rid of burned-on food, place the   
					grates in a covered container or plastic bag.   
					Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak   
					for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry.   
					Frame   
					Rubber Grate Feet   
					The grates may also be cleaned in a   
					dishwasher.   
					For stability, your grates have rubber feet   
					on each leg. If any of these rubber feet should   
					become damaged or lost, replace it with one   
					of the extra rubber feet supplied with your   
					cooktop.   
					Although they are durable, the grates will   
					gradually lose their shine, regardless of the   
					best care you can give them. This is due to   
					their continual exposure to high temperatures.   
					Do not operate a burner for an extended   
					period of time without cookware on the grate.   
					The finish on the grate may chip without   
					cookware to absorb the heat.   
					Drip trays,   
					drip tray   
					liners and   
					drain tubes   
					(on some models)   
					Located beneath the cooktop you will find a   
					drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and liners   
					are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are   
					on rollers so they are easy to remove and   
					replace.   
					Drain tubes   
					To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray   
					forward. If something has spilled into the tray,   
					it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to   
					prevent “baked on” food soil.   
					Drip tray and liner   
					Grease from the griddle or the grill drains   
					through the drain tubes into the tray and into   
					the liner below.   
					Do not allow the grease to accumulate in   
					the drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.   
					Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are   
					cool. Clean with hot soapy water.   
					To remove the drip tray, pull it forward to stop,   
					push in on the release tabs located on each side   
					of the tray and continue to pull forward.   
					To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle   
					brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as   
					® 
					® 
					Bon-Ami or Soft Scrub can be used. For   
					stubborn stains, use a soap-filled scouring pad   
					® 
					or a harsh abrasive cleaner such as Comet or   
					® 
					Ajax, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.   
					22   
				Care and Cleaning   
					Stainless Steel Cooktop   
					Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and   
					food particles, using a square-edged spatula,   
					while it is still hot.   
					Griddle   
					(on some models)   
					Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth   
					to remove any remaining residue and food   
					particles.   
					If desired, wash with hot soapy water, rinse   
					and dry.   
					Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface   
					lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil   
					or cooking sprays as they get sticky.   
					If the griddle is cleaned with anything other   
					than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to   
					be reseasoned.   
					Never flood the hot griddle with cold water.   
					This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.   
					Clean the grill immediately after cooking.   
					Turn off the burner. To protect your hand   
					from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt.   
					Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue   
					brush, frequently rinsing in a bowl of water.   
					Grill   
					(on some models)   
					The steam created softens the food particles   
					and assists the cleaning process. The food   
					particles will drop into the liner and drip tray.   
					Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and   
					liner after they have cooled.   
					Clean the Gourmet Radiant™ Tray with hot   
					soapy water. Rinse and dry.   
					The backguards and shelf are made of   
					stainless steel.   
					For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless   
					steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®, Cameo® or   
					Bar Keepers Friend®. Apply cleaner with a   
					damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.   
					Always scrub lightly in the direction of the   
					grain.   
					Backguards   
					and shelf   
					Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch   
					the surface.   
					Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.   
					If the panel and shelf have food soil   
					After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such   
					as Stainless Steel Magic®.   
					remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such   
					as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®.
