COOKTOP USE
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper 
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used 
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is 
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has 
the same characteristics as its base material. For example, 
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the 
properties of aluminum.
Griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the 
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface 
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. 
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking 
area or element. Canners should not extend more than ½" 
(1.25 cm) outside the cooking area.
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements 
or surface burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government 
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact 
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home 
canning products can also offer assistance.
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with natural 
gas. If you wish to use L.P. Gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is 
included with your new range. Models with the TripleTier™ Flame 
Burner will include a TripleTier™ L.P. Gas Conversion Kit and a kit 
for standard ranges. See “Installation Instructions” for details on 
making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when 
control knobs are turned to LITE.
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 the clicking sound. If you do not hear the 
igniter click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a tripped circuit 
breaker or blown 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.  
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be 
lighted manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob 
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to 
setting.
