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.

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.

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
ou si les brûleurs ne s’allument pas, même si
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.

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

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.

Using Your 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.

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.

The tray rests on pins at the front and the

• 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 griddle is thermostatically controlled
and cycles on and off to maintain the set
temperature. A light will glow to indicate
the griddle is on.
The griddle assembly should not be removed
for cleaning.
Once the unit is in position, the rear center
shipping screw can be removed. It is located
beneath the griddle flue cover. Remove the flue
cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to
scratch the backguard during removal of the
flue cover.
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.

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.

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
