Lighting a Burner
WARNING
• To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your
cooktop without the burners completely and properly
assembled (see page 5). The burner rings spread the
flame evenly around the burner cap. The burner rings
and burner caps must be properly seated for proper
burner lighting and operation.
• In the interest of safety, always light the burner before
putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn the
burner knob to the off position before removing the
utensil. Always check the position of the control knobs
to make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
• Do not turn the knob farther than the
HIGH position
until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that
could cause burns or damage to the surrounding area.
• Do not touch any part of the burner while the igniter is
sparking. An electrical shock could result.
• Never light the burners with a match or other open
flame.
• If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the
flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the
OFF position. Open a window and allow at least five
minutes for the gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting
procedure.
1. To light a burner, press down on the correspond-
ing control knob and turn it slowly counterclock-
wise to the HIGH position (see below). As you
turn the knob, the indicator light for the burner
will come on and the burner igniters will spark.
The igniters will stop sparking when ignition for
the selected burner occurs.
2. Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the
desired level by rotating the control knob further
counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the
grate. The thickness of the flame level indicator
on the knob edge indicates the flame setting.
Selecting the Cookware
WARNING
• NEVER cover any slots or holes anywhere on the
cooktop. Doing so will block air flow through the
cooktop and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Keep all slots and holes clear of grease and grime.
• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles
to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also,
handles should not extend over adjacent burners.
Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center
them so that they are well-balanced.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do
not drop them on the grate.
• Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent
damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level
if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame
that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous.
For overall safety and best cooktop performance,
select the correct cooking utensil for the food being
cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will
not cook evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
• Has flat, smooth bottoms.
• Is well balanced.
• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and
Use cookware that:

• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and
steam in.
IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible. The
porcelain surfaces of the grates and burner caps are
acid-resistant but not acid-proof. Some foods can
cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on
porcelain surfaces.
