Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
Gas. If you wish to use LP Gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned on.
For models W5CG3024 and W5CG3625:
The large burner (12,500 Btu/h [British Thermal Units]) provides
the highest heat setting, and is ideal for cooking large quantities
of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners
(9,200 Btu/h and 5,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer
control at the lowest setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller
quantities of food, using smaller pots and pans.
For models G7CG3064 and G7CG3665:
The large burners (17,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units],
15,000 Btu/h and 12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting,
and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using
large pots and pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h, 9,000 Btu/h
and 5,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the
lowest setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of
food, using smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been
turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
