IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic • Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm,
four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances is minimized because this
is an outdoor unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Your range top burners are for outdoor use
only. Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,
Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking
gas appliances.
• Improper use or installation is dangerous.
Carefully follow these instructions.
• Check your local building codes for the
proper method of installation. In the absence
of local codes, this unit should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest
Edition.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range top burners unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to
a qualified technician.
• Do not try lighting this appliance without
reading the lighting instructions in this manual.
• Always remove the cover before lighting the
range top burners.
• Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located so that you know
where to shut off the gas to the range top
burners.
• Always wait 5 minutes before relighting
the burners to let any accumulated gas
dissipate.
• Never use the range top burners if there is
a gas leak present.
• Read this manual carefully and completely
before using your range top burners to
reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other
injury. Please retain this manual for future
reference.
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
• Keep the area surrounding the range top
burners clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, other flammable liquids
or vapors, charcoal lighter fluid and trash.
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 for
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the range top burners. On
cart-mounted units, keep the area beneath
the burners free of debris. If the range top
burners are built in do not store gas cylinders
beneath the unit without adequate ventilation.
• Never connect an unregulated gas line to the
range top burners.

intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not let children use the range top burners. • Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
• Never let children crawl or hang on the range

holders touch the burner grate.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it.
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other
flammable materials come in contact with or
too close to the grate, burners or hot surface
until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• When using a range top burner, always use
flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to
cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it
heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid
ignition of clothing. Position handles inward
away from open edges of the unit to avoid
burns associated with spillovers. Hold the
handle of the pan with a pot holder when
turning or stirring food.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• For proper lighting and performance of the
burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• Thoroughly clean the range top burners on a
regular basis.
• Clean the range top burners with caution. To
avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the range top burner while it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or
can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never
be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while cooking.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils
are suitable for use on the range top burners.
Unsuitable types of materials may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings according to the
manufacturer’s directions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• At least once a year, the unit should be
inspected for the presence of spiders, spider
webs or other insects. The burner area is a
common and desired spider haven and can
present a dangerous condition which can
damage the range top burners and render
them unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,
spider webs or other insects can cause the gas
to flow from the front of the burner. This is a
very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check
the range top burners immediately if any of
the following conditions exist:
• Do not attempt to disconnect any gas
connections while your burners are in use
or the gas supply is on.
• When the range top burners are stored
indoors the gas supply must be disconnected
and, if using an LP gas cylinder, the cylinder
must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated
area.
•
When the range top burners are stored
outdoors ensure that they are kept in a well
ventilated area.
• Keep any electrical supply cord away
from the heated surface of the range
top burners.
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with
extreme yellow tipping of the burner
flames.
• On cart-mounted units never move without
first allowing the range top burners and/or
grill to cool and ensuring that the gas
supply is turned off. Fold the side shelf
down and push, never pull, the appliance.
2. The burners do not reach temperature.
3. The burners heat unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
• Should a burner go out during use, turn the
control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes
before attempting to relight the burner.
Always follow the lighting instructions.
• Never use the range top burners in a
windy area.
• Only use with the type of gas specified on
the rating plate. To change from LP gas from
natural, or vice versa, a factory conversion kit
is required.
• Never lean over a lit burner.
• Never cook without the drip tray in place
and pushed all the way to the rear of the
burner box.
• LP units are supplied with an LP tank
equipped with a type 1 connector and an
over-fill protection device. If you use a tank
exchange system, be sure to exchange this
tank for a similarly equipped tank.
• Do not operate the range top burners
under combustible construction. Use only
in well ventilated areas. Do not use in
garages, breezeways, sheds or other such
enclosed areas.
• If the range top burners have not been used
for an extended period of time (over winter,
for example) the unit should be checked for
gas leaks and obstructions in the burner.

Dual Range Top Burners
Outdoor Range Top Burners
General
information
Your range top burners are equipped with heavy
cast iron burners. They are rated at 15,000 BTU
and have a spark igniter knob for efficient
lighting.
The range top burners come with a stainless
steel cover. On cart-mounted units, the stainless
steel cover doubles as a work surface. When using
the grill burners with the work surface in place,
be careful as heat can conduct from the grill
section and cause the work surface to heat up.
Never attempt to light the range top burners
with the work surface in place.
The burner grate is porcelain enamel
over cast iron for durability.
Cover the range top burners with the stainless
steel cover when not in use.
To light a
range top
burner
First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and
to the side, or any cooking utensils from the
burner grate.

CAUTION: On cart-mounted units, the burner
cover may be hot if the grill burners are in

Push and turn the control knob to the LITE

until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. It may
be necessary to turn the igniter knob several
times until the gas has filled the line.
Spark igniter knob
If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait 5 minutes for
any accumulated gas to dissipate, then try again.
If the burner will not light after several attempts,
wait 5 minutes. The burner can be lit by holding
a lit match next to the burner ports and turning
the control knob to LITE.
Move your hand immediately once the burner is
lit. Turn the control knob to the desired setting.
If the burner will not light you can use a match.
Correct
Incorrect
Flame
height
The correct height of the flame depends on
the size and material of the pan being used, the
food being cooked and how much liquid is in
the pan.
• The flame should never extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glass-
ceramic) should be used with low or medium
flame unless you are cooking with a large
amount of liquid.
Note: The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using.

Care and Cleaning
Outdoor Range Top Burners
Burner grate
The range top burner grate is porcelain enamel
over cast iron for durability. To avoid burns, do
not clean the grate when hot. It may be wiped
while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and
wiped dry. Never immerse the grate in water
when hot.
Due to rapid temperature changes, the
porcelain may pop off the edges of the grate.
Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast
iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain
enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the
enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.
If you remove the grate for cleaning, care should be taken in
lifting it. It is very heavy. Place the grate on a protected surface.
Drip tray
A galvanized stainless steel drip tray is located
under the burners. It collects any boilovers or
spills. Pull forward to remove.
Spills should be washed off as soon as possible
to prevent “baked on” soil.
Stainless
steel
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call our
toll-free number, 800.626.2002 or visit ge.com.
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.
Spider and
insect
warning
You should inspect the burners at least once
a year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow from the front
of the burner. This is a very dangerous

Care and Cleaning
Outdoor Range Top Burners
Burner
removal
Ensure the gas supply is off, the knob is in the
OFF position and all surfaces are cool before
removing a burner.
Flash tubes
Venturi tube
The burners are cast iron coated with porcelain
enamel. Occasionally it will be necessary to
remove surface rust to ensure proper
performance. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on the climate and location and how
often you use the range top burners. The walls
of the burners are thick so they can withstand
many years of use.
Lighter
ports
Igniter
Burner hanger
Air shutters
To remove a burner, remove the burner grate.
Grasp the burner and pull it up slightly to the rear
of the unit so that the venturi tube comes off the
brass orifice at the front, and remove.
Gas valve
Orifice
To reassemble the burner, replace the burner
by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice,
centering it in the hole. Lower the burner head
onto the support channel. Make sure the
rectangular projection on the bottom of the
burner drops into the cutout in the channel.
Ensure that the burner is level and does not rock.
It is extremely important to center the burner
on the orifice properly.
Manifold
Be careful not to upset the air shutter’s original
position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear
of the burner into the cutouts on the support
channel at the rear of the burner box. Make
sure it is level and does not rock.
If you remove the drip tray, replace it so that
it sits level and does not rock.
Light the burner and check for proper flame
characteristics. If adjustments are necessary
refer to the installation instructions.

Burner
cleaning
Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.
Be sure burner ports are clear and free from
debris. Clear any clogged ports with a
straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Never enlarge the burner ports. Shake out any
debris through the air shutter.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to
ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be
seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been
straightened out to clear them.
NOTE: To ensure warranty coverage and proper
performance of the range top burners, monthly
inspection and cleaning of all the burner
orifices is recommended.
Orifice
cleaning
With the burner removed, remove the orifice
and shine a flashlight through the opening to
ensure there is no blockage.
Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely
careful not to enlarge the hole or break off
the needle.
Control
knob
Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove
heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
The control knob may be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove the knob, pull it straight
off the stem. Wash the knob in soap and water
but do not soak.
Replacing
an igniter
Before replacing an igniter, perform this
simple test.
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the
electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine the
electrode for grease and debris or see if the
electrode tip is bent.
1. From under and behind the valve panel,
look upward and locate the end of the
igniter wire where it is connected.
The igniter may be replaced from the front by
removing the drip tray and reaching behind
the valve panel to unplug the igniter wire.
Remove the igniter knob and the two mounting
screws. (Reverse the procedure to replace.)
If removing the valve panel is necessary, begin
by removing the control knob, then remove
the 4 corner screws of the valve panel.
Disconnect the wire and place the metal
blade of a screwdriver about 1/8″ from the
terminal of the rotary igniter.
2. Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,
a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.
If there is no spark, replace the igniter.
