What should I do if I smell gas around the cooktop?

Do not attempt to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switches or use phones in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone and follow their instructions. If you cannot reach them, call the fire department.

2

How do I properly clean the burner grates?

The burner grates are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Remove excessive soils before placing in the dishwasher and ensure no spills or food remain on them to maintain proper gas flow.

3

What is the recommended way to clean the cooktop surface?

Allow the cooktop to cool, wipe off spills with a cloth dampened in warm soapy water. For heavy soil or burned-on areas, use a soap-filled scouring pad and gently scrub; rinse thoroughly with clear water.

4

How can I troubleshoot if the surface burners are not lighting?

Ensure the Surface Control knob is completely turned to LITE, check that the gas supply valve is open and clean burner ports or slots with a small-gauge wire or needle. If it happens after cleaning, try slightly fanning the flame before relighting until full.

5

Why does my cooktop have an orange flame?

A yellow-orange flame is common if burner ports or slots are clogged, moisture remains after cleaning, dust particles in the main line are present, improper adjustments to gas valves occurred during LP conversion.

6

What should I do before igniting burners manually?

Ensure all controls are OFF and cool. Hold a lit match to the burner head then slowly turn control knob to LITE position; adjust flame as needed.

    oven or on the cooktop.

    Using a wok (.or supplied) Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Roundbottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

    DO NOT use a wok if if is equipped wlfh a metal ring fhaf extends beyond the burner unlf. Because fhls ring traps heat, the surface unlf and cooktop

    surface could be damaged.

    Wire trlvefs: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

    ![image 9](1509286L_images/imageFile9.png)

    Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations 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.

    _Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plasflc wrappings on top of the range when if is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

    High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.

    Manual Lighflng In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to UTE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

    Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

    _These settings are based on using medlum=welght metal or aluminum pans wlfh llds. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. 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 sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

    Proper flame size

    flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 1).

    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.

    For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner heads and slots. Toclean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. Should you experience ignition problems it may be that an ignition port hole is partially blocked with soil (see figs 1 & 2). With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port or ports.

    ####### Before You Call

    ########## Solutions to Common Problems

    Before you call for servicenreview this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

    OCCURRENCE Surface burners do not llghf

    ######### POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

    Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control to desired flame size.

    Be sure gas supply valve is open. Gas-air mixture needs a straight line to travel. Be sure burner is properly seated in its support (models with open burners only). Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off:, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports or slots. Power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models). Be sure cord is plugged securely into outlet.

    Electrical power outage (electric ignition models). Burners can be lit manually. See Setting Surface Controls in this Use & Care Guide. Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off:, clean ports with a smallgauge wire or needle to clean ports or slots. Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate until flame is full. To avoid this occurrence dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under General Care & Cleaning. Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue. In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air. Surface burner valves are not adjusted properly. Refer to your LP conversion instructions for guidance on how to adjust the valves.
