durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for
cooktop cooking or oven use.
• 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 a gas cooktop.
14 English
CAUTION
6 inches or less
• Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom
diameter of about 6 inches or less on the
center grate. This cookware may tip over.
Use the rear burners for this small-sized
cookware.
• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop
and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns,
spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can occur if pots or pans
are bumped accidently.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. They can melt or ignite. Heating a
sealed plastic container can cause a building up of dangerous pressure which can
cause the container to explode.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
Install the grates
NOTE
Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the
openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three cooktop grates are designed to fit in specific positions on the cooktop.
For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.
• Place the left and right grates so that the thicker side of the right grate lines up
with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up
with the left side of the cooktop.
To replace the grates correctly, follow these steps:
1. Orient the center grate as noted in the directions on the left.
2. Gently lower the legs of the center grate so that the legs rest in the center grate
dimples on the cooktop.
3. Orient the left and right grates so that the thicker side the right grate lines up
with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up
with the left side of the cooktop.
4. Gently lower the legs of the right gate into the corresponding dimples on the
cooktop. Repeat with the left grate. When installed correctly, neither gate will
make contact with the overhangs on the center grate.
Using the cooktop burners
• The center grate must be installed with the filled-in section, marked with the
word 'BACK', towards the back of the cooktop.
The center grate has two overhangs to help you locate the side grates correctly.
The overhangs will snag the side grates if you install the side grates in the wrong
direction or on the wrong side. See the illustration below.
