IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the
type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used.
Your cooktop can be converted for use with either
type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended
by the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer.
• 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 further by
venting with an open window or using the
ventilation fan.
B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch
power off at the service panel.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
When You Get Your Cooktop
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the

show you the location of the gas cut-off valve
and how to shut it off if necessary.
outdoors.
E. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal
ductwork.
• Have your cooktop installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment
and service should be performed only by qualified
gas range installers or service technicians.
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces clean.
B. Always turn vent ON when cooking at high heat.
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the
grounding of the home electrical system, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
C. Use high settings on cooktop only when
necessary. Heat oil slowly on low to medium
setting.
D. Don’t leave the cooktop unattended when
cooking.
E. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate
for the type and amount of food being prepared.
CAUTION—For general ventilating use only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from
the cooktop before operating it, to prevent fire or
smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

flaming pan on a surface burner 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.
• When raising or lowering the vent, keep fingers
away from all vent parts; assure that cookware,
pans and handles will not be struck and tipped
when raising the vent.
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 operate or clean your cooktop if the
glass is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions
and spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Call for service
immediately if the cooktop glass breaks or cracks.
• Do not store flammable materials near the
cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on or near the cooktop.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance
is in use.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
• Use only dry pot holders—
moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from
• Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
steam. 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.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or center
of the cooktop without extending over adjacent
burner or vent area.

• Always turn the surface burners to off before
removing the cookware.
• If the cooktop is located near a window,
do not use long curtains which could blow
over the burners and create a fire hazard.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high
flame setting.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never use
an open flame to locate a leak.
• 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 the
sides of the pan.
• Do not cover or block the area around the
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for
proper ventilation and burner performance.
• Use 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.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has a round metal ring which is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok.
This ring acts as a heat trap which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may
cause the burner to work improperly. This may
cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed
by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• 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 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 cooktop can ignite. Use pans
with handles that can be easily grasped and
remain cool.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not place hot cookware on the glass
cooktop. This could cause glass to break.
• Keep all plastics away from burners.
• 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 a grate.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
to cooking with induction or other electric surface
units, you will notice some differences when you use
gas burners.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between gas burner cooktops and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop
Gas Burners
Description
How It Works
Regular or sealed
gas burners use
either LP gas
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
Radiant
(Glass Ceramic)
Cooktop
Electric coils
under a glass-
ceramic cooktop.
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction
High frequency
induction coils
under a glass
surface.
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil
Flattened metal
tubing containing
electric resistance
wire suspended
over a drip pan.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk
Solid cast iron
disk sealed to the
cooktop surface.
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

USING YOUR COOKTOP
Electric Ignition
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning flames.
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.
The igniters make clicking sounds and spark even
when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not
touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
To Light a Burner
Push the control knob
in and turn it
counterclockwise to
desired position from
HIGH to LOW.
• The center and two rear burners are best for smaller
pans and cooking operations requiring carefully
controlled simmering conditions. The two front
burners are the high power burners for larger pans
and fast boiling operations.
• 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.
After the burner
ignites, turn the knob
in either direction to
adjust the flame size.
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
To turn a burner
off, turn the knob
clockwise, as far
as it will go, to the
OFF position.
Auto Relight
The burners on this cooktop relight automatically if the flame goes out.
This helps prevent the inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner.
As with electric ignition, all of the burner igniters spark while a burner is
relighting. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you 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 heat and only serves to heat
the handle.

Cookware
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.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
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.
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 conducts heat
very slowly.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that
have support rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the
ring over the burner
grate may cause the burner to work improperly
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards. This could be dangerous to your
health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners.
If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it
will cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

COOKTOP VENT SYSTEM
The built-in vent system helps remove cooking vapors, odors and
smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
Continuous use of the vent system helps keep the kitchen comfortable and
less humid, reducing cooking odors and soiling moisture that normally
creates a frequent need for cleaning.
Raising or Lowering the Vent
To raise the vent, turn the VENT knob to the
RAISE/LOWER position. The vent will rise to the
fully extended position. There is no intermediate
position.
To lower the vent, turn the VENT knob again to the
RAISE/LOWER position. The vent will then descend.
The vent fan will only operate in the fully extended
position.
How to Operate the Vent System
Turn the FAN knob to HIGH position to turn it on.
If you continue turning the FAN knob, you can select
a fan speed between HIGH and LOW.
The FAN knob does not have to be turned to OFF
before the vent is lowered. The fan will automatically
turn off when the vent is lowered.
If the fan was not turned off when the vent
was lowered, it will automatically come on
at the previously selected speed when the vent
is fully raised.
CAUTION: Be careful when raising or lowering
the vent. Be sure pots, pot handles and other objects
are clear of the vent cover and cannot be struck or
tipped by the vent being raised. Keep hands and
fingers away from all vent parts.

cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions carefully in caring
for it.
Glass Cooktop
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any
spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning
on and becoming more difficult to remove.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads,
cleansing powder and scouring pads—they may
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such
as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface
with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse
with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can
use any liquid household detergent.
CAUTION: DO NOT COOK ON OR CLEAN A
BROKEN OR CRACKED COOKTOP. Cleaning
solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can
create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service
technician immediately.
Grease Filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean
filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of
cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at
least once a month. Never operate the downdraft
without the filters in place.
To remove: Lift up and pull the bottom out. Remove
the left filter first, then slide the right filter to the left
and remove it.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove
imbedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture
before replacing. Filters may be cleaned by placing in
dishwasher, although some slight color fading may
occur after several washings.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If
replacement becomes necessary, order the part from
your dealer.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull it straight up.
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be wiped clean often.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed
when the top of the burner is removed. Be careful
not to push in any surface unit controls while the
top of a burner is removed. A slight electrical
shock might result which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
Burner

Burner cap
Slot
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
The burner grates and caps can be lifted off, making
them easy to clean. Removing them gives you access
to the burner base and burner bowl. Wash the grate
and cap in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. Dry them with a cloth—don’t reassemble them
wet. When replacing these parts, be sure they fit
securely into position over the burners.
Burner
base
Burner bowl
Burner Grates
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly
and, of course, 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. When replacing the grates,
be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.
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.
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking
oil on the bottom of the grates.
Although they’re 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.

POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS
Electrical Supply:
Gas Supply:
These cooktops are designed to operate on
natural gas at 4″ of water column pressure or
on LP gas at 10″ of water column pressure.
• These cooktops are shipped from the factory
set for natural gas. If you decide to use this
cooktop with LP gas, conversion adjustments
must be made by a service technician or other
qualified person.
19″
4″
Electric location
• The pressure regulator must be connected in
series with the manifold of the cooktop and must
remain in series with the supply line regardless
of type of gas being used.
14″
Gas location
For proper operation, the maximum inlet
pressure to the regulator must be no more than
10″ water column pressure for natural gas and
14″ water column pressure for LP gas.
The built-in gas downdraft cooktop features
pilotless electric ignition for energy savings and
reliability. It operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power
supply. A separate circuit, protected by a 15 amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, is required.
• When checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1″ greater than the
regulator output setting.
If the regulator is set for 4″ of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5″.
• A properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
should be located within reach of cooktop’s four
foot power cord.
If the regulator is set for 10″ of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11″.
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit,
the gas supply line into the cooktop should be
1/ 2″ or 3/ 4″ ID flexible metal appliance
connector, three to five feet long.
IMP ORTANT: (P lease read carefully.)
FOR P ERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
AP P LIANCE MUST BE P ROP ERLY
GROUNDED.
NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT
USE AN OLD P REVIOUSLY USED LINE.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong grounding
wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance. The
customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded
and has correct polarity.
• Make gas connection through rear wall, or on
cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or
Remove The Third (ground) P rong From
The P ower Cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
