To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to 

persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic 
precautions, including the following:

■  

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to 

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide 
poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

■  

Do not store items of interest to children in 

cabinets above the cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop 
to reach items could be seriously injured.

■  

Proper Installation – The cooktop, when installed, must be 
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the 
absence of local codes, with the 

National Electrical Code, 

ANSI/NFPA70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Be sure 
the cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified 
technician.

■  

This cooktop is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for 
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged 
directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or 
remove the grounding prong from this plug.

■  

Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the cooktop.

■  

Injuries may result from the misuse of the cooktop such as 
stepping, leaning, or sitting on the top surface.

■  

Maintenance – Keep cooktop area clear and free from 
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors 
and liquids.

■  

Storage on the cooktop – Flammable materials should not be 
stored on or near surface units.

■  

Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend 
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

MPORTANT: This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If 

you wish to use Liquid Propane (LP), call a licensed professional to 
install the LP gas conversion kit (included).

All burner caps and burner bases should be properly installed BEFORE 
operating the cooktop. Check that each burner has the right size head 
and cap.

Refer to the “Assembling Your Cooktop” section for proper burner head 
placement details. 

 All burners will click/spark when a knob is pushed in. A 

burner will light only if the knob is pushed in then turned 
counterclockwise to IGNITE. 

To light the burners:

1. Push in the knob.

2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. Wait until you see a 

flame.

3. Turn the knob anywhere between Hi and Lo to the desired setting.

Power failure: In case of a power failure, burners can be lit manually. 
Hold a lit match near the burner and turn the knob counterclockwise to 
IGNITE. 

The burners should be kept clean. Spillovers should be cleaned 
immediately since they can clog the openings in the burners.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the 
cooktop is cool. For more information, see the “Care and Cleaning” 
section.

■

Remove the burner cap from the base. Clean the burner cap with 
hot soapy water and then rinse it.

■

Remove the burner base and clean the 
gas tube opening under the base.

■

Clean clogged burner ports with a 
straight pin, needle or small-gauge wire 
as shown. Do not use a wooden 
toothpick or clean in the dishwasher.

■

Gently clean the igniter with a damp 
cloth.
