Operating Instructions  
Using Gas Safely  
Gas fuels and their uses can cause minor exposure to benzene,  
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from  
incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances  
can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners  
with a blue, rather than yellow, flame will minimize the  
incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood, or open window  
will further minimize exposure.  
u The maximum gas supply pressure may not exceed 14-inches  
W.C.P. (½ PSI)  
u Never use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.  
Explosion, fire or injury could result.  
u Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.  
u Use proper pan size. Select stable cookware with flat,  
bottoms.  
u Cookware should be large enough to contain the food and  
avoid spillovers. This will save cleaning time and avoid  
accumulations of food debris, which can ignite.  
u Use pans with handles that remain cool and are easy to hold.  
u Always turn the burner controls off before removing  
cookware.  
How to Light a Burner  
Your cook top burners have electric ignition, thus avoiding  
constantly burning pilot lights. Push the control knob down and  
turn it counter- clockwise to the first mark to ignite. This is your  
highest setting. After the burner ignites, you may turn the knob  
counter-clockwise to adjust the flame setting. To turn the burner  
off, turn the knob clockwise to the symbol .  
In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a  
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the  
control knob 90 degrees counterclockwise. Use extreme caution  
when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical  
power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.  
4
u Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time  
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may  
chip without cookware to absorb the heat.  
u Check to be sure that you have turned on the correct burner. -  
Be sure the burners and grates are cool before touching or  
leaving a potholder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.  
u Be sure to turn the control knob off when you finish cooking.  
How to Select Flame Size  
u For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up  
the sides of the cookware.  
u Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.  
u The flame size should always match the size of your  
cookware.  
u Flames larger than the bottom of your cookware are wasted  
and may cause burns by overheating the handles.  
Simmer and Power Burners  
The left and right rear burners are best for midsize pans and  
cooking operations not requiring extreme highs or lows. The left  
front is for carefully controlled simmering conditions. The center  
burner is a high power burner for larger pans and fast boiling  
operations. The right front is the "Multi-Use" burner, just right  
for every thing.  
Safety Precautions and Tips:  
1 - Use the unit only for its intended purpose.  
2 - For safety reasons never use the unit to heat or warm-up the  
room.  
3 - When using an electrical appliance near the gas cook top, be  
sure that the power cord of the appliance does not come into  
contact with the burner area.  
4 - Do not leave children unattended in an area where appliances  
5
are in use. Teach them not to touch the gas cook top.  
5 - NO ONE should ever be allowed to sit or stand on any part  
of the gas cook top or the area around the gas cook top. Do not  
store items that could be of interest to children above or at the  
back of the gas cook top. Everyone should use caution when  
reaching over the gas cook top as they could be seriously injured  
or burned.  
6 - Do not store items on the unit.  
7 - Never let clothing, potholders or other flammable materials  
come into contact with, or close proximity to the burners while in  
operation. Flammable fabric, drapes or wall coverings must be  
kept away from the gas cook top as they may ignite and cause  
personal injury. For personal safety, wear proper apparel - loose  
fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while cooking.  
8 - Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or  
exposing surface areas to flammable materials. 9 - Always use dry  
potholders when removing utensils from the burners. Wet or  
damp potholders can cause steam burns.  
Do not let potholders touch the burners or grate. Do not use a  
towel or bulky cloth in place of a potholder.  
10 - WARNING: Clean the gas cook top with caution. A wet  
sponge or cloth used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface can  
result in steam burns and may damage the surface of the gas  
cook top. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied  
to a hot surface.  
11 - Be sure all controls are turned off and the gas cook top is  
cool before using aerosol cleaners. The chemicals used in aerosol  
sprays may be flammable.  
12 - Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials  
accumulate on or near the unit.  
13 - Never leave the unit unattended while cooking. Very hot oils  
can cause fire.  
14 - Do not use water to extinguish grease fires. Never pick up a  
flaming pan. If possible, turn the gas cook top off. Then  
smother the flames (use a tight fitting lid, flat tray, cookie sheet  
etc.) or use a dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher. Baking  
soda will also work (It is recommended that your kitchen be  
6
equipped with a fire extinguisher).  
15 - Always heat fat slowly, watching it as it heats. Stir  
combinations of fats together.  
16 - If cooking on high, remain close to the unit to monitor it for  
flammable or splattering grease and boil overs.  
17 - WARNING: Glass and Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only  
certain types of glass, glass / ceramic, earthenware, or other  
glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service. Improper  
cooking utensils may break due to the sudden change in  
temperature.  
18 - WARNING: Utensil handles should be turned inward and  
not extended over adjacent surface units - To reduce the risk of  
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil  
should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not  
extend over adjacent surface units.  
19 - Use the proper pan size. For safety reasons the burner flame  
should not extend beyond the cooking utensil.  
20 - Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the burner  
Off.  
21 - WARNING: Keep any venting filters clean to avoid grease  
fires and maintain good venting.  
22 - Do not store or use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable  
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.  
23 - IMPORTANT: Verify that meat and -poultry has been  
cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for  
meat and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry to protect against  
food borne illnesses.  
24 - Do not operate without the burner cap and grates in place.  
25 - Do not use the gas cook top as a cutting board.  
26 - Be sure that the knobs are on off and burners and grates are  
cool, before attempting to remove.  
27 - Keep wood and plastic items away from the vicinity of the  
gas cook top to avoid fire or melting.  
28 - Keep canned and sealed goods away from the heat as the  
contents may expand and explode.

Cleaning and Caring For your Gas cook top  
Your gas cook top surface is made of stainless steel with glass  
enameled cast iron grates. Stainless steel is tough, but, don't stand  
on it or drop heavy objects on it. Use care when placing the  
grates to avoid scratching. Avoid thermal shock when dealing  
with the enameled burners; they prefer a slow cooling down  
period, so use caution.  
Grates and Burner Caps  
Cooled grates and burner caps may be washed with hot soapy  
water . If needed, mild abrasives may be used. Allow grates and  
caps to dry well before replacing them. Avoid dropping the grates  
or subjecting them to, sudden cooling as this may cause the  
enamel to chip.
