KitchenAid KFGS306V Mode D'Emploi

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural 
Gas. If you wish to use LP Gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is 
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included 
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this 
conversion.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when 
control knobs are turned to Lite.

The large burners (10,000, 12,000 and 18,000 Btu/h [British 
Thermal Units] on 36" [91.4 cm] models and 9,100, 10,000 and 
15,000 Btu/h on 30" [76.2 cm] models) provide the highest heat 
setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, 
using large pots and pans. The small burners, 6,000 and 
7,000 Btu/h and the inner crown of the central burner allow more 
accurate simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal for 
cooking smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and pans.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. 
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without 
any cookware on the grate.

NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does 
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter 
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or 
blown household fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the 
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained 
repair specialist.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation 
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not 
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and 
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a 
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see 
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

During the cooking cycle, if one or more burners power off due to 
external causes (such as water spillage, wind, distorted flame, 
etc.), the ignition system will turn on to re-ignite the flame. When 
the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. 
Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting 
on a burner.

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit 
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob 
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to 
setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power 
failure, as the vent fan will not operate.

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control 
knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following 

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
