be safe
Your new Capital PERFORMANCE SERIES™
cooktop has been designed to be a safe, reliable
appliance when properly used and maintained. If
not properly used, it could be dangerous. Read ALL
the instructions in this Use and Care Guide
carefully before using this appliance.
Safety precautions must be followed when
using any kitchen appliance.
INSTALLATION SAFETY:
Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the
installation instructions provided with this product.
Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply
shut off valve is located so that you know how and
where to turn off the gas to the range.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections
are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak
and therefore a smell a faint gas odor. Finding a
gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some
leaks can only be found with the burner control
in the “ON” position and a qualified service
technician must do this.
BURNER SAFETY:
In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open a window or door immediately. DO NOT
attempt to use the range until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using
the range.
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a factory-authorized service technician.
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the
curtains do not blow over or near the range
burners, griddle or broiler section; they could catch
fire and cause serious injury.
WARNING!
These precautions will reduce the risk of
burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons. Use extreme care when using this
restaurant caliber cooktop as this appliance
provides intense heat and can increase
accident potential.
CHILD SAFETY:
Children SHOULD NOT be left alone or unattended
in an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
CAUTION! Do not store items of interest to
children above the cooktop or behind it. If
children should climb onto the appliance to
reach these items, they could be seriously
injured.
STORAGE SAFETY:
NEVER use any part of the range for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items
may melt or ignite.
GREASE FIRE SAFETY:
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES! Turn
appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or
use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SAFETY:
NEVER let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable
materials come into contact with or too close to any
element, burner, or burner grate until it has cooled.
Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
the steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
elements, hot burners, or burner grates.
ALWAYS use utensils that have flat bottoms, large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized
utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
CLOTHING SAFETY:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not
be worn while cooking.
4
be safe
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door handles!
DO NOT remove the griddle and grill sections!
WARNING!
This appliance is for cooking! Based on safety
considerations, never use the cooktop to warm
or heat a room. Such use can damage the
cooktop and may result in personal injury.
COOKING SAFETY:
DO NOT use aluminum foil as a shield against
food spills or drippings around the burners or
control panel area. This could obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilated air. This can damage
the finish of the range.
DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE
IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS adjacent to
the burners. When in use these areas may become
hot enough to cause burns.
NEVER leave the range unattended when using
high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite. More importantly, if
the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will
escape into the room. See inside front cover
regarding gas leaks.
UTENSIL SAFETY:
ONLY certain types of glass, heatproof glass-
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range use. This type of
utensil may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings
according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD
CONTAINERS. A buildup of pressure may
cause the container to burst.
DURING COOKING, set the burner control so that
the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
USE CAUTION to ensure that drafts like those from
forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable
materials toward the flames or push the flames so
that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.
TO MINIMIZE BURNS, ignition of flammable
materials and unintentional spills, position handles
of utensil inward so that it does not extend over
adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge of
the cooktop.
HOLD THE HANDLE of the pan to prevent
movement of the utensil when stirring food.
BBQ SAFETY:
DO NOT USE the BBQ top section for cooking
excessively fatty meats or products that promote
flare- ups.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease to cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits to collect. Clean after each use.
KEEP BURNER PORTS CLEAN. This is essential for
proper lighting and maintenance of the burners. It is
necessary to clean the burner ports when there is a
boil over or when the burner does not light though
the electronic igniters click.
CLEANING SAFETY:
CLEAN THE COOKTOP WITH CAUTION.
Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
BE SURE ALL COOKTOP CONTROLS ARE
TURNED OFF and the cooktop is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the top section. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode. Only a factory-
authorized service technician should perform
Service. Technicians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this unit.
VENTILATION SAFETY:
CLEAN THE VENTILATOR HOOD and filters above
the range frequently so grease deposits from cooking
vapors do not accumulate on them.
IN CASE OF FIRE or when intentionally “flaming”
liquor or other spirits on the range, follow hood
manufacturer’s instructions.
INSTALL A SMOKE DETECTOR in or near
the kitchen.

using your new cooktop: burners
SEALED BURNERS:
The range features four, six, or eight gas surface burners;
each rated at 15,000 BTUS/HR. The burners are sealed to
the stainless steel top frame to prevent liquid spills from
accumulating below the top surface, making it easier to
clean. Each burner has its own control knob.
burner operation:
1) Depress the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the
High position.
2) The igniter for the selected burner clicks and sparks.
3) After flame ignition, the igniters stop clicking.
4) Rotate the knob to any flame setting between “HI” and
“Sim” (note: for pre-2006 models LO and SIM are the same)
ELECTRONIC IGNITERS:
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when
the burner is turned on. Each burner should light within 4
seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see
that the cap is positioned correctly on the base.
DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to the section “Before Calling
For Service.”
automatic re-ignition:
If any one or more burners or grill blow out, the electronic
igniter automatically sparks to relight the flame. Again, DO
NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.
before using your cooktop for the first time:
Record the Model and Serial number of your appliance on the
Service Page of this use and care guide. This may be used for
any future contact with your service technician or the factory.
Also, enter this information on the Product Registration Card
included with this product, and mail it to the indicated address.
WARNING! Power Failure:
In the event of a power failure, only the sealed burners
and grill can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each
one individually. If the range is being used when the
power failure occurs, turn ALL knobs to the OFF position.
Holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob
to the HI position can light the standard burners. Wait
until the flame is burning all around the burner cap before
adjusting the flame to the desired height. Neither the grill
nor the griddle burner can be used during a power failure.
If you smell gas, refer to safety instructions listed inside
the front cover.
IMPORTANT:
For proper combustion, do not use the cooktop without
the burner grates in place.
NOTE: There is a slight sound associated with gas
combustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.
On ranges using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound
may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off.
Fig. 1
FLAME HEIGHT (see fig. 1) :
1) The correct flame height depends upon a) size
and material of pan being used; b) food being cooked;
and c) amount of liquid in the pan.
2) Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
3) Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain-coated steel or
glass ceramic.
4) The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
tips. It is uncommon to see orange in the flame color; this
indicates the burning of airborne impurities in the gas and
will disappear with use.
5) With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the
primary cone are normal.
6) The flame should burn completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly
on the base and that the ports are not blocked.
7) The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or
fluttering.
