Your new cooktop
has gas burners.
If you are used to
cooking
with induction
or other electric
surface
units,
you will notice
some differences
when
you use gas
burners.
The best types of cookware
to use, plus heat-up
and
cool-down
times,
depend
upon the type of burner
or
surface
unit you have.
The following
chart will help you to understand
the dif-
ferences
between
gas burner cooktops
and any other
type of cooktop
you may have used in the past.

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results,
but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and
change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops
right away.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For
best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving
of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not
change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot
enough to continue cooking for a stlort time after they are turned off,
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for
good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric
coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off,
Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be
flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot

surface unit if you want cooking to stop,
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet), Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right
away and changes heat settings riglqt away, like a gas cooktop. After turning
the control offl the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking
stops right away.

1. Be sure the surface
burner
control
knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Remove
the grates and lift the cooktop
up (see the
Lift-Up Cooktop
section).
3. Locate
the two pilot ports and light each of them
with a match.
NOTE:
if the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it.
See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots if Necessary
section of the Installation
Instructions.
4. Lower the cooktop.
Your surface
burners
are now
ready for use.
5. Observe
the lighted
burners.
Compare
the flames
to pictures
in the Problem
Solver.
If any flame is
unsatisfactory',
call for service.
Lighting gnstructions
for
EUectric Dgnition 1odens
Your surface
burners
are lighted
by electric
ignition,
eliminating
the need for standing
pilot lights with con-
stantly burning flames.
In case of a power
failure,
you can light the surface
burners
on your
range with a match.
Hold a lighted
match
to the burner,
then turn the knob to the LITE
position.
Use extreme
caution
when
lighting
burn-
ers this way.
Surface
burners
in use when an electrical
power fail-
ure occurs will continue
to operate
normally.
The
electrode
of the spark
igniter
is exposed.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners
spark.
Do not attempt
to disassemble
or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An
electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
