WARNING This appliance is equipped with a 3-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. For personal safety, this cooktop must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into a 120V—60 Hz. outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded. If a two-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS COOKTOP FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE COOKTOP USING A TWO-PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD. WARNING Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor plug, an extension cord or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause srous injury, fire or death. Grounding type wall receptacle Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion WARNING Severe shock or damage to the cooktop may occur if the cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician. LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION Your cooktop is factory set for use with Natural Gas. Do not use Liquefied Petroleum (propane) Gas. 1The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. 2Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. If you wish to convert your cooktop to use Liquefied Petroleum (propane) gas, see "Installation Instructions for the Conversion Procedure". Flame Size For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking. For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the Surface Control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly. *Flame Size Type of Cooking High Flame Medium Flame Low Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam Keep foods cooking; poach; stew Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame. RIGHT WRONG * These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. 5 6 Proper Burner Adjustments The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning. Setting Surface Controls To Adjust Low or "Simmer" Setting (some models) The burner flame, at low setting, can be adjusted if it is too high or too low; refer to the installation instruction for adjustment procedure. To Adjust Standing Pilot Model (some models) Each burner lights automatically either an electric or a standing pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. To light the standing pilot, open gas supply shutoff valves, lift the cooktop from the front edge and hold a match near the pilot. Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off; because of that, the porcelain enamel cooktop can be hot even if burners are not used; refer to Installation Instructions for proper pilot adjustment. Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position. To operate the Surface Burner: 1. Place cooking utensil on burner. 2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite. 3. Visually check that the burner has lit. 4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)
