or if the flame is not spread evenly around the burner
cap, see the Before You Call for Service section on
page 13.
Place the cooking utensil on the grate.

IMPORTANT:
When the cooktop is cool the igniter may continue to
spark if the control knob is set to the LOW position. The
burner will stop sparking when warm. The tendency to
spark when cold can be reduced by operating the burner
at a higher flame setting for about 60 seconds. After
60 seconds, lower the flame to cook. The burner will
also warm up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate.
The igniter will also spark automatically if the flame
is distorted by a draft or by the household ventilation
system. Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventilation
blower speed to reduce this type of problem.
To keep the burners operating properly, keep the burner
igniters, burner rings and burner caps clean and dry. See
Cleaning the Cooktop starting on page 11.

IMPORTANT!
Put the griddle over the center burners only!
Using the Griddle
Before using the cooktop griddle for the first time,
wash it in hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry
thoroughly.
With all of the burners off and the cooktop cool to the
touch, put the griddle over the top of the middle grate
on the cooktop*. Fit the tabs that stick out of the bottom
of the feet into the inside corners of the grate. When it
is correctly installed, the griddle will rest securely about
1/2” above the top surface of the grate.
Turn the left center burner knob to the light (H
IGH)
position. Once lit, turn the knob to the MAX GRIDDLE
position, or lower if desired. DO NOT keep the burner
knobs higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting after they
are lit!
Repeat step 3 for the right center burner knob.
During cooking be careful with metal utensils on the surface
because they can scratch the non-stick coating.
Clean the griddle after each use. See page 12 for
instructions.
* The middle grate has burners of the same size in the
front and back for even heating.
