IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Govemor 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 wam

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 LPfuels. 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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shutoff valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

A WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cool<ware having fiat bottoms large enough to

cover burner grate. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cool<ware islarge enough to contain the food properly. This will both save

cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cool<top can ignite.

Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

, Always use the LITEposition when igniting the top burners

and make sure the burners have ignited.

, Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame

settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may catch on fire.

, Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from 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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.

, When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for

cooktop cooking.

, 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 burners.

, Always turn the surface burner controls off before

removing cookware.

, Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

, Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

, Donot 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.

, If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir

together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

, Donot use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has

a round metal ring that 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.

, 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.

, Usethe least possible amount of fat for effective shallow

or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food isadded.

, 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 iscool.

, Donot flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods

under the hood, turn the fan on.

, Donot leave plastic items on the cooktop- they may melt

if left too close to the vent.

Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

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.

, 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.

, Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could

cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.

, Never leavejars or cans of fat drippings on or near your

cooktop.

, Donot use aluminum foil under burner grate. Misuse

could result in a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.

, Donot cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs.

This area must be kept clear for proper ventilation and

burner performance.

, Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

Using the gas surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lit by

electric ignition, eliminating the need

for standing pilots with constantly

burning flames.

In case of a power outage, you can

light the surface burners on your

cooktop with a match. Hold u lit

match to the burner, then turn the

control knob to the high position.

Use extreme caution when lighting

the burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an

electrical power failure occurs will

continue to operate normally.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE,

THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL

NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE

GRILL NODULE OR GRIDDLE IF

THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT

OPERATIONAL.

Push the control knob down and

turn it to the LITEposition.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Push the control knob down and turn it to

the LITE position.

Youwill hear a little clicking noise-the

sound of the electric spark igniting the

burner.

After the burner ignites,turn the knob to

adjust the flame size.

Toturn a burner off, turn the knob

clockwise,as far as it will go,to the OFF

position.

If the flame istoo low at the setting, the

valve can be adjusted. Referto Flumestoo

high or too low at the LO/SI!'4MERsetting

in the Troubleshooting Tipssection.

How to Select Flame Size

Forsafe handling of cookware, never

let the flames extend up the sides of the

cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, asyou

reduce heat. Theflame size on a gas

burner should match the cookware you

are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the

cookware iswasted and only servesto

heat the handle.

Ifthe burner has not been usedrecently,

the flames may make a loud noise.Thisis

normal, and it should dissipate after 4 to 5

minutes.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

Hake sureall grates on the cooktop are

in place before using any burner.

, Only surface burners may be used on

the right side.

After Lighting a Gas Burner

, Donotoperatetheburnerforanextended

period of time without cookware on the

grate. The finish on the grote may chip

without cookware to absorb the heat.

, Checkto be sure the burner you turn on

isthe one you wont to use.

, Be sure the burners and grates ore cool

beforeyou placeyour hand,o pot holder,

cleaning cloths or other materials on

them.

When trying to simmer delicate foods,

use the right side of the unit for best

results. The LO setting on the left side

is hotter to accommodate the grill

module. If you find that the LO setting

istoo hot, you can adjust the valve. See

the Troubleshooting Tips section.

Do not allow large pans to extend

over the control knobs. Heat trapped

between large pans and control knobs

could cause possible damage to the

control knobs.

Usingyour cooktop.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you usea flat-bottomed

wok, available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do

not usea flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.

Donot use a flat-bottomed wok on a support

ring. Placingthe ring overthe burner or grate

may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levelsabove

allowable current standards. Thiscould be

dangerous to your health.

Cookware

Use large diameter cookwure on rear burners.

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly

and evenly. Mostfoods brown evenly in an

aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight

fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum

amounts ofwater.

Enamelware: Undersome conditions, the

enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow

cookware manufacturer's recommendations

for cooking methods.

Glass: Thereare two types of glass cookware:

those for oven use only and those for cooktop

cooking (saucepans,coffee and teapots).Glass

conducts heat very slowly.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly,most skilletswill

give satisfactory results.

HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Can be used for

either surface or oven cooking.

Itconducts heat very slowly and cools very

slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's

directions to be sure it can be used on a gas

cooktop.

Stainless Steel'. This metal alone has poor

heating properties and isusually combined

with copper, aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination metal

skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are

used with medium heat as the manufacturer

recommends.

Using the downdruft vent system.

LO

MED

How to Operate the Downdraff Vent System

The built-in vent system helps remove

cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods

prepared on the cooktop.

To turn on the vent fan, use the vent control

switch on the control panel.

. Turn the vent fan speed control knob to

HI, PIEDor LOas needed.

NOTE: Even if the fun switch is in the OFF

position, the fun will turn on automatically

and operate continuously while the grill

burner module is in use.

Continuous use of the vent system while

cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable

and less humid, reducing cooking odors

and soiling moisture that normally creates a

frequent need for cleaning.

At the HI fan speed setting, it is normal

for the nearby burner flames to be drawn

toward the vent grille. If cooking performance

isaffected, then use a lower fan speedsetting.

Using the Grill

, The vent fan will turn on automatically and

operate continuously while the grill burner

module is in use.

, Before using the grill for the first time, wash

grill grate in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

, Precondition grate by brushing with

vegetable oil or spraying with a non-stick

coating such us Pam®.Dothis every time

before you grill.

For easier clean-up, spray grate and burner

basin with a non-stick coating.

Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to

prevent damaging the non-stick grill grate

finish.

, Preheat the grill on high for 5 to !0 minutes.

Preheating improves the flavor and

appearance of meats and quickly sears the

meat to help retain the juices.

, Excessive amounts of fat should be

trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary

to produce the smoke needed for that

smoked "outdoor" flavor. However, excessive

fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.

, Allowing excessive (]mounts of grease or

drippings to constantly flume voids the

warranty on the grill grate. Excessiveflare-

ups indicate that either the grill interior

needs to be cleaned, excessive (]mounts of

fat (ire in the meat or that the meat was not

properly trimmed.

, Grease drippings will occasionally ignite

to produce harmless puffs of flame for a

second or two. This is a normal part of the

cooking process.

. Never leave the grill unattended during

operation.

IMPORTANT:

IN CASEOFA POWERFAILURE,THE

VENTILATIONSYSTEMWILLNOT OPERATE.

, Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.

, Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill

area.

, Do not allow burner basin to become

overloaded with grease. Clean after each use.

, Do not cover grate completely with meat.

Leaveair space between each steak, etc., to

allow proper ventilation as well as to prevent

flare-ups.

Do not use cooking pots, pans, skillets, etc.,

on the grill grate.

Should a Sustained Flare-Up Occur:

!, Use the vent control to turn the fan on.

2. Immediately turn the grill control knobs to

the OFFposition.

Grilling Tips

. With your grill, any food you've considered

"at its best" when prepared outdoors can

now be prepared indoors with less fuss

and great flavor.

. Thefollowing suggestions are good rules

to follow and will increase your enjoyment

of the equipment. Besure to follow

directions in this manual for using the grill.

. Suggested cooking times and control

settings are approximate due to variations

in meats. Experience will quickly indicate

cooking times as well as which settings

work best.

. For best results, buy top-grade meat. Meat

that is at least 3/4-inch thick will grill better

than thinner cuts.

Forthe attractive "branded" look on steaks,

be sure the grill ispreheated. Allow one

side of the meat to cook to the desired

doneness, or until the juices appear on

the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks

and hamburgers just once. Moving the food

around causes loss ofjuices.

. When basting meats or applying sauces

to foods, remember that excessive

amounts wind up inside your grill and do

not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces

during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking

time unless the recipe specifies otherwise.

Sugar-based marinade (for example,

barbecue sauce) will caramelize on grill

grate and will create a cleaning chore.

. Thereare many meat marinades which will

helptenderize less expensive cuts of meat

for cooking on the grill.

. Certain foods, such as poultry and non-

oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush

with oil or melted butter occasionally while

grilling.

. Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for

turning meats. Do not useforks because

these pierce the meat, allowing juices to

be lost.

To help retain meat juices, salt after

turning meat or after cooking is completed.

Score the fat on the edges of steaks but

do not cut into the meat to prevent curling

while cooking.

Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be

sure all controls are off and DISCONNECT

ELECTRICALPOWERTOTHE COOKTOPat

the fuse box or circuit breaker panel, or pull

the cooktop power plug, located beneath the

cooktop and inside the cabinets.

Do not operate the cooktop without all parts

in place.

Control Knobs and Control Panel Seal

After grilling there may be soot on the knobs

and control panel seal. This soot can be

removed by scrubbing with a plastic scrubber

and mild dishwashing detergent. The control

knobs may be removed for cleaning.

To remove a knob, pull it straight up.

Wash the knobs in soup and water but do not

soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob

stem holes.

Wipe with a sponge, dump cloth or paper

towel. Do not scrub with steel wool pads or

abrasive cleansers.

To replace a knob, match the flat part of the

knob opening with the flat side of the shaft.

Grease Jar

A grease jar islocated below the grill basin

pan under the countertop. Check periodically

to prevent spillovers. Unscrew and remove.

If the jar is broken, replace with any heat

tempered jar, such as a canning jar, that has a

wide mouth screw neck.

Porcelain Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish issturdy but

breakable if misused. This finish is acid-

resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled

(such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should

not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot,

use a dry paper towel to wipe it up right away.

When the surface has cooled, wash with soap

and water or cleansing powders. Rinsewell.

For other spills, such as fat spatterings,

wash with soap and water or cleansing

powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse

well. Polishwith a dry cloth.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm

sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or

polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction

of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for

cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Grill Burner

The grill burner should be cleaned after

each use. It can be cleaned with a non-

abrasive pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse

and dry thoroughly before using again. For

heavy soil, the burner should be cleaned

first with u soupy steel wool pad, rinsed

and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-

cleaning oven for two hours.

NOTE:Check to be sure all burner ports are

open. To open clogged ports, insert a twist

tie directly into each port.

Grill Grate

Thegrate should be cleaned after each

use. It can be cleaned with detergent and a

plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed

in the dishwasher if burned-on residue is

first removed. For heavy soil, the grate can

be soaked in hot, soupy water mixed with

household ammonia.

Do not use metal brushes or abrasive

scouring pads or other scrubbers intended

to clean outdoor grills.

These will remove the finish as well as

scratch the grate. Do not clean in a self-

cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the

grate.

Vent Grille and Filter

Vent Grille: The vent grille lifts off easily.

Wipe cleon or wash in the sink with mild

household detergents.

NOTE:On models with a white vent grille,

stubborn stains may be removed by soaking

the grille in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water

overnight. After cleaning, rinse the grille

thoroughly and dry it before replacing.

Filten Turn off the fan before removing.

Turn the filter retainer clip to remove the

filter. The filter is a permanent type and

should be cleaned when soiled. Clean

in the sink with warm water and liquid

dishwashing detergent.

IMPORTANT:Do not operate the fan without

the filter. The filter should always be placed

at an angle. As you face the front of the

cooktop, the top of the filter should rest

against the left side of the vent opening and

the bottom of the filter should rest against

the right side of the ventilation chamber at

the bottom. If the filter isflat against the fan

wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

Ventilation Chamber'. This area, which

houses the filter, should be cleaned in the

event of spills or whenever it becomes

coated with a film of grease. The ventilation

chamber may be cleaned with a paper

towel, damp cloth or sponge and a mild

household detergent or cleanser.

When replacing the filter, make

sure it rests, at an angle, on the

supports in the vent opening.

Latch it in pk]ce.

Igniters

It is important to keep igniter port openings on

burners clear and free of obstructions to avoid

ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the

port openings are blocked, use a twist tie or

paper clip to remove any clogs in the burner

slits.

Electrodes

This small metal rod in the burner produces

the spark and must be kept clean and dry to

properly ignite the gas. Use a dry paper towel

or scrub pad to keep the electrode clean.

Griddle Accessory

DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in cold water.

Once the griddle has cooled, wash with soup

or detergent in hot water in the sink. Be sure

to remove all food residue before cooking on

the griddle again.

Removestubborn spots with a plastic scouring

pad. For best results, use only those cleaning

products which are recommended for use

when cleaning non-stick surfaces. Do not use

steel wool or coarse scouring pads.

DO NOT wash in a dishwasher.

Sealed Burner Module

Cooktop Surface:

To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or

staining:

, Clean the cooktop after each use.

Wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as

the cooktop has cooled, because these

spills may discolor the porcelain.

Sealed Burners:

The sealed burners of your cooktop are

secured to the cooktop module and are not

designed to be removed. Since the burners

are sealed into the module, boilovers or

spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.

However, the burner heads should be cleaned

after each use.

Burner Grate:

The grate must be properly positioned before

cooking. Improper installation of the grate

may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate burners without a pan on the

grate. The grate's porcelain finish may chip

without a pan to absorb the heat from the

burner flame.

Although the burner grate isdurable, it will

gradually lose its shine and/or discolor, due to

the high temperatures of the gas flame.

Burner Caps:

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,

soupy water and rinse with clean water. You

may scour with a plastic scouring pad to

remove burned-on food particles.

Porcelain Burner Basin

This area islocated under the grill and surface

burners and should be cleaned after each use

of the grill.

To remove light soil, clean with soapy water

or with a cleaner such as 409 ®.For easier

cleanup, soak paper towels in a household

cleanser, lay in the burner basin and soak for

at least a half hour or longer.

To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet®,

Bun AmP, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic

scrubber.

To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven

cleaner. Let soak overnight. Wipe clean. Rinse

and dry.
