Cooking with the gas cooktop
Preliminary information
• Remove all packaging materials and literature
from the cooktop surface.
• Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
• There may be a slight odor during the first few
uses. This is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the
proper cookware being selected and used.
• The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light
the burners. There is no pilot light. Each
burner has its own igniter. All igniters are acti-
vated when a control knob is pushed.
• You can light and adjust the flame size of each
burner by pressing and then turning the rela-
tive cooktop knobs.
• Read all the safety precautions and Use and
Care Manual information before using the
appliance.
Correct burners placement
The cooktop is equipped with two differently
coated burners and they must to be positioned in
their correct housings:
1. Brass coated burners - to be placed in the
front left and front right zones.
2. Black coated burners - to be placed in all the
other zones.
Installing the burners
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot. To minimize exposure to these
substances, the burners should be adjusted by a
certified installer or authorized servicer to ensure
proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation
with an open window or use a ventilation fan or
hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the
unit according to the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION
• Do not force the knobs to turn if you have
not pressed them before.
• To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure that the grates are
installed exactly as indicated in the installa-
tion instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
WARNING
• To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop
without all the burner caps properly installed
to insure proper ignition and the correct
flame size.
• It is very important to be sure that all sur-
face burner caps and cooktop grates are
properly installed and in the correct posi-
tions BEFORE using the cooktop burners.
