Frequently Asked Questions - CGU486P3TD1 Café

How to light a burner during a power outage?

During a power outage, you can light the burners with a match. Hold a lit match near the ports under the burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to LITE. Once lit, the burner will operate normally.

Why won't my burners light?

Possible causes include: the range is not plugged in or the outlet is not powered, the gas is not turned on, a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, clogged burner slots, or residue on the electrode. Check these points and clean the electrode with a nail file if necessary.

How to clean the burners?

Make sure the burners are cold and off. Remove the grates, caps, and burner heads. Wash them in hot soapy water. For burnt-on residue, soak the heads for 20-30 minutes in a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.

Can I use a wok on this cooktop?

Yes, the grate over the front right air-induction burner is designed for a 14-inch round-bottom wok. Do not use an additional support ring, as it could block airflow and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

What to do if a burner flame is yellow and irregular?

This may indicate an improper air/gas ratio. If the range is on propane, contact the technician who installed it. Otherwise, check that the burner caps are correctly placed and that the slots are not clogged. Clean the burners if necessary.

How to adjust the height of the griddle (if present)?

Remove the vent duct cover by pulling it horizontally. Loosen the two inner set screws, then adjust the height with the outer screws. You can also tilt the griddle slightly for grease drainage. Retighten the set screws after adjustment.

What types of cookware can I use?

Use cookware made of aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, enameled metal, glass, or heat-resistant glass-ceramic. Make sure the bottom is flat and appropriately sized for the flame. Avoid unstable cookware.

How to maintain the stainless steel surface?

Clean with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. Rub in the direction of the grain. Avoid abrasive pads. For stubborn stains, use a mild oxalic acid-based cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser.

Where to find the appliance serial number?

The serial number and model number are on a rating plate located under the control panel. Write them down in the manual for future reference.

Is the appliance under warranty?

Yes, a one-year limited warranty covers parts and labor for defects in material or workmanship. CAFÉ covers in-home service costs. Some exclusions apply, such as damage from improper installation or misuse.

SURFACE BURNERS (cont.)

Types of Surface Burners

Round Burner

Use this burner for general cooking purposes. Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Inspiral Burner

Use this efficient inward firing burner that is ideal for medium and large cookware and wok cooking but not ideal for delicate foods.

Multi-ring Burner

Use this burner for large cookware or for simmering applications.

Exploded view diagram of a mechanical assembly showing internal components and circular components (no text or labels)

Inspiral Burner

The Inspiral burner uses an inward flame pattern delivering more even heat to the bottom of the pan as well as increased heat efficiency. Ideal for medium and large cookware and wok cooking but not ideal for simmering delicate foods.

Inspiral burners will produce the most heat when in the high position and then reduce the amount of heat as you turn to the simmer position. The burner is supplied with a copper enamel cap and an alternative black enamel cap.

Multi-Ring Burner

The Multi-Ring Burner has an inner and outer ring of flame. For large cookware, activate all rings by setting the burner between Hi and Med.

For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim.

TOP-OF-RANGE COOKWARE

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

WOK COOKING

WARNING

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

The burner grate above the Inspiral burner accommodates wok sizes from 14" to 16" in diameter without the need of a separate ring. Large flat bottom pots also can use the wok grate for general cooking. This wok grate should only be located above the front right Inspiral burner.

GRIDDLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, LEVELING (on some models)

WARNING

Fire Hazard

■ Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
■ Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the griddle and may result in fire.
■ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.

Remove the metal cover before turning the griddle on.

The griddle assembly should not be removed for cleaning.

Once the unit is in position, the griddle can be leveled. Remove the flue cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding stainless steel surfaces during removal of the flue cover.

The two inner screws are clamping screws for securing the griddle in place. Loosen these two screws before leveling. Do not remove these two screws.

The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not remove these two screws. They can be turned to level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to help grease and oils to drain away from the food being cooked. After the first few uses, you will be able to judge the slope best suited for the foods you are cooking and personal preference.

Griddle flue cover Leveling screws Clamping screws

After leveling the griddle, tighten the clamping screws to secure griddle in place. Hand tighten screws; do not over-tighten.

USING THE GRIDDLE

Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water before first use and after subsequent uses. The griddle surface is made of durable, highly polished Type 304 stainless steel backed by an aluminum plate for even heat distribution. Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the griddle surface to help prevent food from sticking.

To heat the griddle, push in and turn the control knob to the desired temperature setting. The light on the bezel will glow to indicate that the thermostat control is working. The griddle is thermostatically controlled and can be set to maintain any temperature from 200^ F to 450^ F. Permit the griddle to preheat for 10 minutes before placing food on it.

NOTE: Unlike the surface burners which use spark igniters, the griddle uses a Glo-Bar for ignition. Gas flows to the griddle burner and ignition occurs approximately 45 seconds after the control knob is turned to a set temperature.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the rangetop

CONTROL PANEL AND KNOBS

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel because they will damage the finish.

For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by pulling them directly outwards once the knobs are in the OFF position. Do not pull knobs up or down or hang objects on them. This can damage the gas valve shaft. See the Surface Burner section for a detailed view of these knobs. The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water.

When removing the burner knobs, remember their location. The knobs are not interchangeable, these knobs must be placed in the same location after cleaning. See the Surface Burner section for a detailed view of these knobs. To replace knobs after cleaning, align the bottom of the knob with the matching clip orientation to the shaft inside the bezel. Push knob until completed seated.

Use a soft, non abrasive cloth to clean the inside of the bezel. Do not remove diffuser film. Do not expose to moisture or it will damage lighting electronics.

Front Flat Side Control Panel Flat Side Burner Knobs

RANGETOP EXTERIOR

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, Then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge. To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Consumer Support section for further information.

Care and Cleaning

Do not clean this white ceramic part with an emery board.

BURNER GRATES

The enameled cast-iron burner grates should be cleaned regularly.

Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

For stability, the frames have rubber pads on each corner. During cleaning and use, be careful not to damage or snag rubber pads.

Wok Side Inspiral Burner Grate Foot

GREASE TROUGH (on some models)

Grease from the griddle will drain into the enameled cast-iron grease trough at the front of the range. Ensure grease trough is pushed underneath the griddle lip in order to catch grease while cooking. Once the trough has cooled, it may be lifted out for easier cleaning.

To remove the cool grease trough from the griddle, slide it toward the front and lift up.

Do not allow grease to accumulate in the grease trough as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the grease trough as soon as they are cool. The grease trough can be cleaned by hand with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe any spillage in the trough basin with a soft cloth.

Grease trough

GRIDDLE (on some models)

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged metal spatula, while it is still hot.

Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If the griddle is cleaned with anything other than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold water. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

NOTE: It is normal for the stainless steel griddle to discolor to a yellow-brown color after use.
