IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and  
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the  
Governor of California to publish a list  
of substances known to the state to cause  
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive  
harm, and requires businesses to warn  
customers of potential exposure to such  
substances.  
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to  
four of these substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,  
caused primarily by the incomplete  
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.  
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by  
a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will  
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances can be minimized by  
venting with an open window or using a  
ventilation fan or hood.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using your appliance, follow basic safety  
precautions, including the following:  
• Have the installer show you the location of  
the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to  
turn it off if necessary.  
• Be sure all packing materials are removed  
from the cooktop before operating it to  
prevent fire or smoke damage should the  
packing material ignite.  
• Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic  
path and out of drafty locations and areas  
with poor air circulation.

des brûlures sérieuses.  
décrites dans ce Manuel du propriétaire.  
• Assurez-vous que votre appareil soit bien  
installé et mis à la terre par un technicien  
qualifié conformément aux instructions  
d’installation fournies.  
• N’essayez jamais de réparer ou de remplacer  
une pièce de votre cuisinière, à moins que  
nous ne le recommandions spécifiquement  
dans ce manuel. Tout autre entretien ou  
réparation doit être effectué par un  
technicien qualifié.  
• N’utilisez que des poignées de casserole  
sèches. Des poignées de casseroles humides  
ou mouillées sur des surfaces chaudes  
peuvent occasionner des brûlures dues à  
la vapeur. Ne laissez jamais de poignée  
de casserole s’approcher des brûleurs  
de surface ou des grilles de brûleur.  
• Avant d’effectuer un entretien ou  
une réparation, DÉBRANCHEZ  
L’ALIMENTATION DE COURANT DE  
VOTRE CUISINIÈRE AU NIVEAU DU  
TABLEAU DE DISJONCTEURS DE LA  
MAISON, EN ENLEVANT LE FUSIBLE OU  
EN FAISANT BASCULER LE DISJONCTEUR.  
N’utilisez jamais de serviette ou de linge  
épais à la place d’une poignée de casserole.  
• Quand vous cuisez, ne touchez jamais les  
brûleurs de surface, les grilles de brûleur,  
la grille ou le grill (sur certains modèles),  
ni les surfaces avoisinantes.  
• Ne laissez jamais des enfants sans  
surveillance—vous ne devez jamais laisser  
des enfants seuls ou sans surveillance dans  
un emplacement où un appareil ménager est  
utilisé. Vous ne devez jamais leur permettre  
de s’asseoir ou de monter sur une partie de  
l’appareil ménager.  
Ces surfaces peuvent être chaudes et vous  
brûler.  
Pendant et après toute utilisation, ne touchez  
jamais, ou ne laissez jamais vos vêtements ou  
tout autre matériau inflammable en contact  
avec les brûleurs de surface, la grille ou le

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never  
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.  
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit  
by covering the pan completely with a  
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.  
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or  
foam-type fire extinguisher.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of  
the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in  
a fire hazard or the obstruction of the flow  
of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an  
excellent heat insulator and heat will be  
trapped underneath it. This trapped heat  
can upset the cooking performance and  
can damage the finish of the oven or the  
cooktop.  
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put  
out by covering it with baking soda or,  
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers;  
a build-up of pressure may cause the  
container to burst.  
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER  
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN  
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER  
APPLIANCE.  
• Set the burner control so that the flame  
heats only the bottom of the pan and does  
not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.  
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU  
burners can easily melt cookware handles.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the cooktop.  
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.  
• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot  
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil  
when stirring or turning food.  
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done  
a proper job of checking for leaks. You can  
have a small leak and therefore a faint gas  
smell if the connections are not completely  
tight.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the surface burners and make sure the  
burners have ignited.  
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself  
procedure. Some leaks can only be found  
with the burner control in the ON position  
and for your protection it must be done by  
a qualified service technician. Never use an  
open flame to locate a leak.  
• Never leave the surface burners unattended  
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch  
on fire. If the burner flames are smothered  
by a severe boilover which affects the ignitor,  
unburned gas will escape into the room.  
• If by some chance a burner goes out and  
gas escapes, open a window or a door to  
let the room air out. Do not attempt to  
use the appliance until the gas has had  
time to dissipate. Follow the instructions  
in “What to do if You Smell Gas” on page 2.  
• Do not let pot holders come near open  
flames when lifting cookware. Do not use  
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a  
pot holder.  
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition  
of flammable materials and spillage, turn  
cookware handles toward the side or back of  
the cooktop without extending over adjacent  
burners.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ  
• N’utilisez jamais d’eau sur les feux de  
graisse. Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en  
flammes. Mettez tous les boutons de réglage  
en position OFF (arrêt). Arrêtez les flammes  
d’une casserole placée sur un brûleur de  
surface en la recouvrant complètement d’un  
couvercle bien ajusté, d’une tôle à biscuits ou  
d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un extincteur  
d’incendie polyvalent à mousse ou à poudre.  
• N’utilisez jamais de papier d’aluminium  
pour recouvrir un élément du four ou de  
la table de cuisson. L’utilisation de papier  
d’aluminium peut occasionner un incendie  
ou un arrêt de la circulation d’air de  
combustion et de ventilation. Le papier  
d’aluminium est un excellent isolant de la  
chaleur et prend au piège toute la chaleur.  
Cette chaleur prise au piège peut gêner la  
cuisson et endommager le fini du four ou  
de la table de cuisson.  
Vous pouvez éteindre de la graisse en flamme  
sortie d’une casserole en la couvrant de  
bicarbonate de soude ou, si possible, en  
utilisant un extincteur d’incendie polyvalent  
à mousse ou à poudre.  
• Ne réchauffez pas de contenants d’aliments  
fermés; une augmentation de pression peut  
faire exploser le contenant.  
• NE RANGEZ JAMAIS OU N’UTILISEZ  
JAMAIS DE MATIÈRE COMBUSTIBLE,  
D’ESSENCE OU D’AUTRE VAPEUR OU  
LIQUIDE INFLAMMABLE À PROXIMITÉ  
DE CET APPAREIL OU DE TOUT AUTRE  
APPAREIL MÉNAGER.  
• Ajustez la taille de la flamme du brûleur de  
surface de manière à ce qu’elle ne dépasse  
pas le fond de la casserole. Une trop grande  
flamme est dangereuse. Les brûleurs forts  
peuvent facilement faire fondre les poignées  
de casserole.  
• Ne laissez jamais de graisse de cuisson ou  
d’autre matière inflammable s’accumuler  
dans votre cuisinière ou à proximité de votre  
cuisinière. Nettoyez après chaque utilisation  
les égouttoirs et les revêtements intérieurs.  
• Tenez la casserole par sa poignée, à l’aide  
d’un torchon sec, pour éviter tout mouvement  
de l’ustensile quand vous remuez ou touillez  
des aliments.  
• Réchauffez toujours doucement les matières  
grasses, et surveillez-les quand elles chauffent.  
• Si vous sentez le gaz, c’est que l’installateur  
n’a pas bien vérifié les fuites. Il est possible  
que vous ayez une petite fuite et par  
conséquent une faible odeur de gaz si les  
raccords ne sont pas complètement étanches.  
• Utilisez toujours le réglage en position LITE  
(allumage) quand vous allumez les brûleurs  
de surface et assurez-vous que les brûleurs  
aient bien pris feu.  
Vous NE pouvez PAS localiser vous-même une  
fuite de gaz. On ne peut trouver certaines  
fuites qu’avec les boutons de contrôle des  
brûleurs en position ON (marche). Pour  
votre protection, c’est un technicien qualifié  
qui doit localiser toute fuite. N’essayez jamais  
de localiser une fuite à l’aide d’une flamme.  
• Ne laissez jamais vos brûleurs de surface  
sans surveillance à un réglage de flammes  
élevées. Les liquides bouillants causent des  
débordements fumants et graisseux qui  
peuvent prendre feu. Si les brûleurs sont  
éteints par un débordement important qui  
touche l’allumage, du gaz peut s’échapper  
dans la pièce.  
• Si, par hasard, un brûleur s’éteint et du gaz  
s’échappe, ouvrez une fenêtre ou une porte  
pour laisser sortir l’air de la pièce. N’essayez  
jamais d’utiliser votre appareil ménager avant  
que tout le gaz se soit dissipé. Suivez les  
instructions de la page 2 “Que faire si  
vous sentez le gaz.”  
• Ne laissez jamais de poignée de casserole  
s’approcher des flammes quand vous  
soulevez une casserole. N’utilisez jamais de  
serviette ou de linge épais à la place d’une  
poignée de casserole.  
• Pour minimiser la possibilité de brûlures,  
d’ignition de matériel inflammable et de  
renversement, tournez les poignées de  
casserole vers le côté ou l’arrière de la  
cuisinière sans les laisser dépasser sur des  
brûleurs adjacents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SURFACE COOKING  
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF  
before removing cookware.  
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be  
certain that the controls for all burners are at  
the OFF position and all grates are cool  
before attempting to remove them.  
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high  
flame setting.  
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn  
the fan on.  
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh  
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over • Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool  
the sides of the pan.  
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting  
grease deposits collect in the grill or the  
griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after  
each use.  
• Use the least possible amount of fat for  
effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling  
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers  
when food is added.  
• For proper lighting and performance of the  
cooktop burners, keep the burner ports  
clean. It may be necessary to clean these  
when there is a boilover or when the burner  
does not light, even though the electronic  
ignitors click.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially  
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
• After cleaning, it is important to make sure  
the cap and burner port are properly aligned  
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment  
will produce poor burner performance.  
Never operate the burner without all burner  
parts in place.  
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is  
designed for cooktop cooking.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating or as  
fats melt slowly.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam  
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth  
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some  
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied  
to a hot surface. Follow manufacturer’s  
directions.  
• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The  
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items and will increase pressure in closed  
containers, which may cause them to burst.  
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are  
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware  
having flat bottoms large enough to properly  
contain food and avoid boilovers and  
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty  
meats or products which promote flare-up.  
spillovers and large enough to cover burner  
grate. This will both save cleaning time and  
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,  
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the  
cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles  
that can be easily grasped and remain cool.  
• If cooktop is located near a window, do not  
hang long curtains that could blow over the  
surface burners and create a fire hazard.  
• Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned  
off and the appliance is cool before using  
any type of aerosol cleaner or cooking spray  
on or around the appliance. The chemical  
that produces the spraying action could, in  
the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal  
parts to corrode.  
• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.  
• Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.

AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ  
CUISSON DE SURFACE  
• Mettez toujours les boutons de contrôle des  
brûleurs en position OFF (arrêt) avant d’enlever  
• Éloignez toujours les articles en matière  
plastique des brûleurs de surface.  
les ustensiles de cuisine.  
• Ne laissez jamais d’article en matière plastique  
sur la table de cuisson. Il peut fondre s’il se  
trouve trop près de l’évent.  
• Surveillez bien les fritures d’aliments à réglage  
de flammes élevées.  
• Les aliments à frire doivent être aussi secs  
que possible. Le givre sur les aliments surgelés  
ou l’humidité sur les aliments frais peuvent  
occasionner un bouillonnement de matières  
grasses chaudes et un débordement de la  
casserole.  
• Pour éviter toute possibilité de brûlure, assurez-  
vous toujours que les contrôles de tous les  
brûleurs se trouvent en position OFF (arrêt)  
et que toutes les grilles soient froides avant  
d’essayer de les enlever.  
• Si vous faites flamber des aliments sous la hotte,  
mettez en marche le ventilateur.  
• Utilisez le moins de matière grasse possible  
pour faire frire en friture profonde ou basse.  
Si vous mettez trop de matière grasse, cela peut  
occasionner des débordements si vous ajoutez  
des aliments.  
• La graisse est inflammable. Laissez refroidir les  
matières grasses chaudes avant d’essayer de les  
traiter. Évitez de laissez des dépôts de matière  
grasse s’accumuler dans le gril ou l’égouttoir.  
Nettoyez ces surfaces après chaque usage.  
• Utilisez autant que possible un thermomètre  
profond à matières grasses pour empêcher les  
matières grasses de surchauffer au-delà du point  
de fumée.  
• Pour bien allumer et faire fonctionner les  
brûleurs de la table de cuisson, conservez  
les orifices de brûleur propres. Vous devrez  
peut-être les nettoyer s’il y a un débordement  
ou si les brûleurs ne s’allument pas, même si  
les allumeurs électroniques cliquent.  
• N’essayez jamais de déplacer une casserole  
de matière grasse chaude, en particulier une  
friteuse à friture profonde. Attendez que la  
matière grasse soit refroidie.  
• Après les avoir nettoyés, vous devez bien aligner  
le capuchon et l’orifice du brûleur à la base du  
brûleur. Si vous ne les alignez pas bien, vous  
obtiendrez un mauvais rendement du brûleur.  
Ne faites jamais fonctionner un brûleur si toutes  
ses pièces ne sont pas bien placées.  
• Quand vous utilisez une casserole de verre,  
assurez-vous qu’elle soit conçue pour la cuisson  
sur table de cuisson.  
• Si vous utilisez une combinaison d’huiles ou de  
matières grasses pour vos fritures, mélangez  
bien avant de chauffer ou pendant que les  
matières grasses fondent doucement.  
• Faites attention quand vous nettoyez la table  
de cuisson. Évitez les brûlures dues à la vapeur.  
N’utilisez jamais d’éponge ou de linge mouillé  
pour nettoyer la table de cuisson quand elle est  
chaude. Certains détergents produisent des  
émanations délétères en contact d’une surface  
chaude. Suivez les instructions du fabricant.  
• Ne laissez aucun article sur la table de cuisson.  
L’air chaud en provenance de l’évent peut  
mettre feu à des articles inflammables et  
augmenter la pression dans des contenants  
fermés, qui peuvent exploser.  
• N’utilisez jamais le gril pour cuire des aliments  
excessivement gras ou des produits qui  
favorisent la flambée.  
• Utilisez toujours la bonne taille de casserole.  
Évitez les casseroles qui sont instables ou qui  
peuvent être facilement renversées. Choisissez  
des casseroles qui ont des fonds plats  
• Si la cuisinière est placée près d’une fenêtre,  
ne pendez pas de rideaux longs qui peuvent  
s’envoler sur les brûleurs de surface et  
prendre feu.  
suffisamment grands pour couvrir la grille du  
brûleur. Pour éviter tout renversement, assurez-  
vous que la casserole soit suffisamment grande  
pour bien contenir toute la nourriture. Cela  
économise du temps de cuisson et empêche  
des accumulations dangereuses d’aliments, car  
des renversements ou des débordements  
importants sur votre cuisinière peuvent prendre  
feu. Utilisez des casseroles qui ont des poignées  
qui sont facilement saisies et restent froides.  
• Assurez-vous que tous les boutons de réglage  
de la table de cuisson soient en position OFF  
(arrêt) et que votre appareil ménager soit froid  
pour utiliser un produit nettoyant en aérosol  
ou un aérosol de cuisine sur ou autour de  
l’appareil. Les produits qui vaporisent peuvent,  
en présence de chaleur, s’enflammer ou  
corroder les pièces métalliques.

Using Your Cooktop  
Stainless Steel Cooktop  
Your surface burners are equipped with  
electronic ignition which eliminates the  
need for a standing pilot light.  
In case of a power outage, you can light the  
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.  
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn  
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme  
caution when lighting burners this way.  
Electronic  
ignition &  
automatic  
reignition  
All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds  
when only one burner is being turned on.  
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters  
are clicking.  
The burners on this cooktop will automatically  
relight if the flame goes out. All burners will  
spark while any one burner is relighting.  
Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the  
flame away from the flame sensor.  
To light  
a burner  
Push the control knob down and turn it  
counterclockwise to the LITE position.  
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,  
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.  
• All of the burners can be used for both  
general cooking and simmering.  
ER  
LITE  
• Do not operate a 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.  
• For your convenience, the indicator lamp  
in the bezel for each knob verifies the  
burner is “ON”.  
• Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”  
when you finish cooking.  
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either  
direction to adjust the flame size.  
How  
to select  
flame size  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or  
reduce heat.  
The flame size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.  
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,  
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE  
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger  
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and  
only serves to heat the handle.  
NOTE: Use 10or larger diameter  
cookware when using heat settings between  
HI and X-HI.

Using Your Cooktop  
Stainless Steel Cooktop  
All burners on the cooktop have two separate  
flames: a simmer (lower) flame and a main  
(upper) flame.  
Dual-flame

Simmering: Use simmer (SIM) to melt chocolate,  
hold delicate sauces or for other foods requiring  
low simmer heat.

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is  
recommended because it heats quickly  
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in  
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with  
tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for  
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts  
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check  
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure  
it can be used on gas cooktops.  
Cookware  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor  
heating properties, and is usually combined  
with copper, aluminum or other metals for  
improved heat distribution. Combination  
metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if  
they are used at medium heat as the  
manufacturer recommends.  
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will  
give satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the  
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow  
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations  
for cooking methods.  
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—  
those for oven use only and those for surface  
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass  
conductors heat very slowly.  
Wok  
cooking  
All burner grates are designed to support  
wok cooking. For easy access and additional  
clearances to combustibles, we suggest using  
a front burner for wok cooking.  
Lift out one burner grate at the front. Turn  
it over and replace in the grate frame. The  
wok side is contoured to support a wok with  
a round or bowl shaped bottom. This design  
eliminates the need for a wok ring and will  
accommodate most woks.  
Check to be sure that your wok fits securely  
and is stable when placed on the wok grate.  
CAUTION: Good wok stability is best achieved  
by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks  
are not recommended. Avoid using woks with  
extremely smooth, untextured, bottom surface  
finishes as these may allow undesired rocking  
of the wok in the grate cradle.  
ATTENTION : Pour obtenir une bonne  
stabilité de travail, il vaut mieux utiliser des  
woks à fond rond. Les woks à fond plat ne sont  
pas recommandés. Évitez d’utiliser des woks  
dont le fond a une surface extrêmement lisse,  
sans texture, car il peuvent occasionner un  
balancement imprévu du wok dans le trou de  
la grille.

Using Your Cooktop  
Stainless Steel Cooktop  
Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These  
drippings will create minor puffs of flame for  
a second or two. This is normal when cooking  
on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have  
a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray  
the flare-up.  
To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim  
the fat from around the edges of steaks and  
chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove  
the fat from poultry, etc.  
Excessive  
grill flare-  
ups and  
flaming  
When turning any kind of meat or poultry,  
the melting fat will drop onto the grill radiant  
and may create a flare-up. If this happens,  
use a long-handled spatula to move the food  
to another area.  
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the  
food from the grill. Lower the heat setting.  
Replace the food when the flare-up subsides.  
Gourmet Radiant Tray  
Flare ups are minimized because a Gourmet  
Radiant Tray, below the grille grate, directs  
grease down to the drip pan before it begins  
to burn.  
Grill grates  
(on some models)  
The two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates  
are reversible. Place the side with the two  
grooved tabs toward the back of the cooktop.  
The grate will change color when subjected  
to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface.  
This is normal and does not affect the cooking  
performance.  
For best results, the grate should be seasoned  
before the first use. Seasoning will insure a  
stick-resistant cooking surface. If the grill has  
not been used for a period of time, it should  
be reseasoned.  
To season the grill grate:  
1 Clean the grate thoroughly with hot, soapy  
Side A  
Side B  
water to remove any manufacturing oils, etc.  
2 Rinse with a mixture of 2 cups water and  
1/2 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.  
The other side of the grate (side B) is  
designed for delicate foods that need more  
support while cooking, such as fish.  
3 Using a heavy cloth, rub vegetable oil over  
the entire surface of the rack. Do not use  
corn oil, as it can get sticky.  
Food cooked on this side achieves the same  
flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The  
intense heat from the grill radiant caramelizes  
the fats and juices that are brought to the surface  
of the food, giving it the barbecued flavor.  
4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the  
burner on to a medium setting. Turn the  
burner off when the oil begins to smoke.  
Allow grates to cool.  
This gas grill may cook slightly faster than  
you are used to.  
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.  
The grill is now ready for use.  
One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and  
should be used for foods where you want the  
fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger  
patties. The ridges are sloped so the fat runs  
toward the front of the grill, into a drain hole  
and down to a drip tray below.

Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the  
drip tray and liners are in place and that you  
have the grill racks turned to the side you want  
for cooking.  
(on some models)  
Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the  
control knob set on HI.  
NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the  
darker the grill marks will be on your food.  
During cooking it may be necessary to adjust  
the heat setting. The control knob may be set  
to any position between HI and LO.  
NOTE: The grill will take approximately  
45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface  
burners, which use electric igniters, the  
grill uses a glow bar for ignition. It takes  
approximately 45 seconds for the glow bar to  
reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the  
grill once the glow bar reaches temperature.  
For proper searing and browning the grill  
requires high heat.  
With large pieces of meat or poultry you will  
need to turn the heat to a lower heat setting  
after the food has been seared. This lower  
heat setting will allow the food to cook  
through without burning the outside.  
Marinades and barbecue sauce should be  
added toward the end of cooking time. The  
heat should be turned to low when sauces are  
added.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while it is on.  
When you are finished cooking, allow the grill  
and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.  
They should be cleaned each time they are used.  
Replace the grill cover.  
Models equipped with a grill have a Gourmet  
Radiant Tray which distributes the heat from  
the burners evenly across the grill area.  
Gourmet  
Radiant™  
Tray  
The tray rests on pins at the front and the  
back of the grille opening. Be sure the tray  
is oriented to mate with front and rear  
support pins.

• When turning the meat over, always use  
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat  
allowing the juices to run out. This will help  
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only  
once, as juices are lost when the meat is  
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat  
after it has been cooked.  
• The doneness of meat is affected by the  
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook  
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.  
A steak should be at least 1thick to have  
it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time  
is affected by the temperature of the meat  
when you start to cook it, the size and shape  
of the cut and the kind of meat you are  
cooking. The degree of doneness desired  
also affects the time.  
Grilling  
hints  
• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat  
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from  
curling while they are being cooked, slit the  
fat around the edges at about 2intervals.  
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the  
center of the meat.  
• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,  
“Rare beef is popular, but you should know  
that cooking it to only 140°F means some  
food poisoning organisms may survive.”

The griddle is thermostatically controlled  
and cycles on and off to maintain the set  
temperature. A light will glow to indicate  
the griddle is on.  
The griddle assembly should not be removed  
for cleaning.  
Once the unit is in position, the rear center  
shipping screw can be removed. It is located  
beneath the griddle flue cover. Remove the flue  
cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to  
scratch the backguard during removal of the  
flue cover.  
The two outer screws are leveling screws.  
Do not remove these two screws. They can be  
turned to level the griddle or to provide a  
forward slope to help grease and oils to drain  
away from the food being cooked. After using  
the griddle a few times you will be able to judge  
the slope best for the foods you are cooking  
and your personal preference.  
When replacing the griddle flue cover, ensure  
that the cover slips to the outside of the front and  
back metal flanges of the fixed griddle assembly.  
This will ensure a tight fit of the flue cover.

For stability, your grates have rubber feet  
on each leg. If any of these rubber feet should  
become damaged or lost, replace it with one  
of the extra rubber feet supplied with your  
cooktop.  
Although they are durable, the grates will  
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the  
best care you can give them. This is due to  
their continual exposure to high temperatures.  
Do not operate a burner for an extended  
period of time without cookware on the grate.  
The finish on the grate may chip without

(on some models)  
Located beneath the cooktop you will find a  
drip tray and liner(s). The drip trays and liners  
are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are  
on rollers so they are easy to remove and  
replace.  
Drain tubes  
To remove the drip tray liner, pull the drip tray  
forward. If something has spilled into the tray,  
it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to  
prevent “baked on” food soil.  
Drip tray and liner  
Grease from the griddle or the grill drains  
through the drain tubes into the tray and into  
the liner below.  
Do not allow the grease to accumulate in  
the drip tray or liner as it can be a fire hazard.  
Clean the drip tray and liner as soon as they are  
cool. Clean with hot soapy water.  
To remove the drip tray, pull it forward to stop,  
push in on the release tabs located on each side  
of the tray and continue to pull forward.  
To clean the drain tube use a soapy bottle  
brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as

Once the griddle has cooled, rub the surface  
lightly with vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil  
or cooking sprays as they get sticky.  
If the griddle is cleaned with anything other  
than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to  
be reseasoned.  
Never flood the hot griddle with cold water.  
This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.  
Clean the grill immediately after cooking.  
Turn off the burner. To protect your hand  
from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt.  
Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue  
brush, frequently rinsing in a bowl of water.
