Setting Up Your Cooktop Installing the Burner Knobs CAUTION Installing the cooktop knobs in the wrong position may result in damage to the cooktop griddle. The knobs for the center burners are marked with the maximum griddle settings. When installing the knobs, align the "D-shaped" opening on the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on until it stops. There are two different types of knobs for the cooktop. The knobs for the center burners have the words MAX GRIDDLE on them. 1. Put the knobs with MAX GRIDDLE written on them onto the inner (center burner) valve shafts. See the diagram on the right. 2. Put the remaining knobs on the outer valve shafts.

Also, handles should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well-balanced. • Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not drop them on the grate. • Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces on the grates. • To avoid burns or a fire hazard, reduce the flame level if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. Flames extending up the sides are potentially dangerous. For overall safety and best cooktop performance, select the correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efficiently. Use cookware that: • Has flat, smooth bottoms. • Is well balanced. • Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in. IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible. The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof. Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces. 6
