The booklet contains suggestions we believe will be helpful as well as directions for using all the features of this cooktop. Keep it in a handy place, as it has the answers to questions that may occur when you start to cook.
Models PSC364GD, PSC364GL, and PSC366 feature a gas cooking surface with four sealed burners and a griddle, four sealed burners and a grill, or six sealed burners.
To light the cooktop burners and grill manually, carefully hold a lighted match to the burner ports and turn the gas control knob to HI. During a power failure, you can manually light the standard cooktop burners and grill only, but each must be lit with a match.
Flam- mable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite. • If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cook- top burners; they could catch on fire.

• Clean the cooktop with cau- tion. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

Section Four: Using the Cooktop USING THE COOKTOP Sealed Burners Sealed Star™ Burner Base The cooktop features four or six gas surface burners; each rated at 15,000 BTU/HR.
