Warning: If the information in this manual is
not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may
result, causing property damage, personal
injury, or death.
The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the
production of heat and mois-
ture in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated.
Keep natural ventilation holes
open or install a mechanical
device (mechanical extractor
hood).
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
What to do if you smell gas
•
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not
use any telephone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from your
neighbour’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
•
•
Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may call for
additional ventilation. Open a
window. For more effective
ventilation, increase the level
of mechanical ventilation.
If you can not reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
- FOR YOUR SAFETY -
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours or liquids in
the vicinity of this appliance.
•
•
•
•
Do not use the cooktop as a heater.
Do not heat unopened glass or metal containers.
Grease accumulation is the cause of many cooking fires.
Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water. Cover grease fires with a pot lid
or baking soda.
•
Avoid the use of aerosol containers near the cooktop.
Note: This unit contains a pre-set regulator.
Installation and Assembly
These diagrams will outline the required opening
Safety Instructions
for your cooktop and clearances to cupboards,
electrical outlets, and gas outlet locations are also
illustrated. Site preparation can be made to have
these utilities ready prior to receipt of the
cooktop.
Caution: To avoid mishaps during the installation
phase, ensure power to receptacle and gas
valve are off.
Please check for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping. In the unlikely event
that you find any shipping damage, inform your
dealer immediately!
Legacy and Metro cooktops consist of the
cooktop body and the backguard.

Utility knife
Level
Should the cooktop be installed adjacent to a
refrigerator, it is important that there be a
minimum of 5” (13 cm) of space between the
two appliances for proper air circulation.
You must have a qualified electrician con-
nect the new range to be sure all electrical
codes and regulations are observed except
when range is equipped with a cord and plug.
A qualified gas technician must install this
appliance to ensure local installation codes
and regulations are observed.
Installation of cabinet storage space above the
surface burners should be avoided to eliminate
the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
surface burners.
Your cooktop should be level for best cooking
results. To verify, place a carpenter’s level on
top of the cooking surface. If leveling is
required, shim under cooktop.
Preparing the Installation Site

Models 3800/3820 and 3805/3825 gas
cooktops must be electrically grounded in
compliance with local codes. In the absence of
local codes, the installation must conform with
the National Electrical Code.
Exhaust Hood
An exhaust hood must be installed over your
new appliance. (see fig. 2) Exhaust hoods to
match the Legacy and Metro cooktops are
available from your dealer. Our hoods are
designed and built to complement your range’s
visual appeal and performance.
Disconnect the electrical supply and turn off the
gas supply before servicing the appliance.
Gas Line Installation
Should you wish to install an exhaust hood of
your own choice, ensure that the exhaust hood
you purchase is the correct size and capacity for
your Heartland cooktop. Please follow the
exhaust hood manufacturers installation instruc-
tions. When installing an after market exhaust
hood over a Heartland cooktop we recommend
that you use the clearances as shown in the
clearance diagrams for exhaust hood installa-
tions. See page 3-10.
Gas requirements: 30” and 36” Heartland gas
cooktop models can be operated with either
natural gas or liquid propane (LP). The
cooktops are set for either natural gas OR
propane at the factory. A conversion kit may be
purchased at a later time and installed on site
should the need arise. The cooktop requires a
½” NPT connector. Use minimum 5/8” diameter
flexible line. Note: This unit contains a pre-set
regulator.
Venting Safety Guidelines:
Installation must be completed in accordance
with all local and national codes. Use only
materials which conform to local codes in effect.
Be sure the power is disconnected before doing
any electrical work. All duct work must be
metal. Do not use plastic duct. The hood should
never be exhausted into a wall cavity or an attic
where an accumulation of grease could become
a fire hazard. When the installation is completed,
turn on the fan and make sure that there are no
obstructions in the line.
The cooktop must be installed in compliance
with local codes. In the absence of local re-
quirements, the installation must conform with the
National Gas Code.
Note: Appliances installed in the state of Massachusetts:
- This appliance can only be installed in the state of Massachusetts
by a Massachusetts licensed plumber or gas fitter
-This appliance must be installed with a three (3) foot / 36 inch
long flexible gas connector
-A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the
gas supply line to this appliance
During any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system, at test pressures equal to or less
than 2.5 KPS, the cooktop must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individualmanualshutoffvalve.
Electrical Installation
Electrical requirements: standard 120 volts
60 Hz .375 Kw volt receptacle, properly
polarized, on it’s own line. Cooktops are
supplied with a 3 prong 5 ft. (1.5 m) moulded
plug cap power cord.
The maximum propane/natural gas supply inlet
pressure must not exceed 14” of water column.
The minimum gas supply inlet should be at least
6” of water column for natural gas or at least 11”
of water column for LP gas.

Cooking Controls
The cooking controls are located on the front of the cooktop. These controls offer an infinite
number of heat settings for ease and accuracy in cooking. They have a range from 15,500 BTU
(setting #5) to as low as 450 BTU (setting #1) Refer to page 14 (fig.6) or page 17 (fig.7) for details.
Cooktop Features

Burner and Grill Operation
Small Pot Ring / Trivet
Lighting the Top Burners and
Grill
Pot ring support is used when cooking on top
burners while using a small pot. The trivet fits
on any burner. Each channel fits on one of 4
fingers on the burner grate. (see fig 8 )
Cooktop is equipped with a spark ignition
system that is electrically operated. Pushing
in and turning the knob to any position will
light the burner. When the knob is turned, a
distinct clicking noise will be heard. After the
burner lights, the clicking noise will stop.
Note: When lighting any one burner, all
burners will spark, but only the burner
selected will light. All models feature “auto-
reignition” – should the flame go out for any
reason, the igniter automatically begins to spark
to re-ignite the burner. See “Reference” section
formanuallighting
procedure.
(fig 8)
Propane Stoves: a slight pop or flash may
occur at the burner ports for a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off. This
“extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.
This channel fits on a finger
on the burner grate.
Note: Incorrect burner alignment will produce
a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner
performance. (refer to fig 11)

Grilling Guide
(For 36” units with grill feature)
Generally we recommend preheating the grill 10 minutes on high. This provides a more even
heating of the grill. Then follow the guide below.
When grilling roasts and thick meats sear on high then reduce heat to allow food to cook through-
out and not burn. Turn meats once after juices appear on the surface. Flare-ups will naturally
occur when fat falls on the flame so do not leave unattended. Until flaming subsides reduce heat
and use a long handled spatula or tongs to move meat to a different area of grill. Brush BBQ
sauces on during last few minutes of grilling.

Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel – Metro Series
Porcelain – Legacy Series
DO NOT USE A STEEL WOOL PAD. It will
scratch the surface. Care should be taken
when cleaning any stainless steel surface.
Start with a soapy water solution and damp
cloth, rinse, then dry. Increase the strength of
the cleaning solution, by small increments, if
required. If food byproducts remain, try a
general kitchen cleaner , such as Fantastik,
Simple Green or Formula 409. For hard to
clean soil, use a stainless steel cleaner , such
as Bon-Ami, Cameo, or Bar Keepers Friend.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly, and dry. Always scrub in the
direction of the grain and follow manufactur-
ers cleaning instructions on labels.
Keeping it clean
The porcelain is very serviceable and simple
to clean, but because it is glass, it will not
withstand rough handling or abuse. Never
place a cold wet cloth on a hot porcelain
surface. Porcelain is glass and sudden changes
in temperature may cause cracking. To clean
porcelain surfaces, use warm, soapy water,
glass cleaner or non abrasive cleaner and a
soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
If any acid based food or liquid, such as lemon
juice or tomato juice, is spilled on the
cooktop, wipe it at once to prevent staining.
Depending on level of acidity, some minor
discoloration may occur.

Surface Burners
Nickel Plated Parts
Top burners require little care other than to
wipe off the head of each burner. If a boil
over occurs, the burner part can be easily
lifted out so burner port holes can be cleaned
in hot soapy water with a soft brush. There
are no bolts or screws to remove. The igniter
must also be kept clean to ensure quick
positive starts. For normal or everyday
cleaning of light spills, wipe the burner parts
with a damp cloth. For heavy duty cleaning—
cooked spills, oil stains, etc., scrub with a tub
and tile type of cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after
every cleaning operation. Wipe away excess
water . Avoid using abrasives on the burner
base, as they may damage the finish. Remove
all water from the burner ports before lighting
the burner (water in ports will lead to random
sparking)
These may be cleaned with any non abrasive
chrome and metal polish or Windex and a soft
cloth. If any acid based food or liquid, such
as lemon juice or tomato juice, is spilled on
the cooktop, wipe it at once to prevent stain-
ing.

Grill
The easiest way to clean the grill is immedi-
ately after cooking. First, turn the control
valves to the OFF position. ( “O” )
Do not handle the porcelain.
Wearing an oven mitt, to protect hands from
the heat and steam, dip a barbecue brush in tap
water. Scrub the hot grill. Steam created as
the water contacts the hot grill assists the
cleaning process by softening any food
particles.For further cleaning the grill may be
cleaned in the sink , after it has cooled off.
The steel mesh located under the grill can be
removed and cleaned.All grill parts are
dishwasher safe.

D
The grill burners must be removed before
panels “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” can be re-
moved. (fig 10) To remove, loosen the screw
located in the middle of the two burners. The
burners can now slide off the orifices, lifted
out, and placed on top of the unit. There is
approximately 6–8”
C
(fig 10)
(15 – 20 cm) of ignitor wire with the burner.
(When installing the burners back into
position, thread the excess igniter wire back into
the hole.)
Remove panels “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”, and wash (dishwasher safe). To replace panels, follow
above instructions in reverse order (please note that panels “B” and “C” are interchangeable) -
However, the cut out must face in direction shown.
Excessive Flare Ups and Flaming
Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or
two. This is normal when coking on a barbecue. You may find it handy to have a spray bottle filled
with water to lightly spray the flare-up.
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the food from the grill. Lower the heat setting. Replace the
food when the flare-up subsides. To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the fat from around the
edges of steaks and chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat that is on poultry, etc.
When turning any kind of meat or poultry, the melted fat will drop onto the mesh and it may create a
flare-up. If this happens, use a long handled spatula to move the food to another area.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while it is turned on.

Trouble Shooting
Burner Set Up and Adjustment
The cooktop was carefully set up and
inspected at the factory but some final
adjustments may be necessary once the unit is
installed.
Important: ensure burner rings are assembled
properly
3.
Check the quality of the flame. The
burners should have a steady, relatively
quiet flame with a ½” (13mm) sharp blue
inner cone. There should be no yellow
flame. The outer flame should have a 2
½” (64mm) sharp blue cone. (see fig 11)

1.
First, check to ensure there are no gas
leaks. Propane and natural gas have a
very distinct odour which is easily detected
by the human nose. If in doubt, soak each
pipe joint with soapy water and look for
bubbles. Do not use an open flame for
testing.
2.
Check that all controls are operating
properly by lighting each of the burners.
Turn the burners on by pushing in and
turning counter clockwise. Test them on
low, medium, and high settings.
You should now be “cooking with gas”. If not,
refer to the gas trouble shooting section later
in this manual.

Safety Guidelines
For a more comprehensive list of safety guidelines and precautions please refer to Appendix
A: Safety Precautions.
Important Safety Instructions
Exhaust Hood Safety
1.
Proper Installation - Be sure your appli-
ance is properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician.
Caution: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinet above the cooktop or on
top of cooktop cabinet. Children climbing on
cooktop to reach items could be seriously
injured.
2.
3.
Never use appliance for warming or
heating the room.
1.
Clean exhaust hood frequently – grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
hood or filter. See “Hood Operation
Instructions” for more details.
Children should not be left alone or unat-
tended in area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance.
2.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn
the fan off. An operating fan may spread
the flame.
4.
5.
Wear proper apparel – loose fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
User servicing – do not replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
6.
7.
8.
Storage on appliance – flammable materi-
als should not be stored on or near surface
units.
Do not use water on grease fires –
smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders – moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
25
Selecting the Proper Cookware
4.
5.
Use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain
heat, odors, and steam. Lids also enable
food to be prepared with less water,
thereby retaining the vitamin content.
Utensils will affect the overall safety and
performance of cooktop cooking. It is impor-
tant to select them carefully. An improperly
selected utensil will not cook efficiently or
evenly. For best results, follow these guide-
lines:
Use cooking vessels that are clean and
dry.
1.
Use medium to heavy gauge metal
cookware with flat and smooth bottoms
for greatest efficiency. Aluminum and
sandwich stainless steel utensils conduct
heat quickly. Cast iron and especially glass
or ceramic cookware are slower to heat.
Glass or ceramic cookware should only
be used as recommended by the
cookware manufacturer.
Important
•
Do not use undersized utensils with unbal-
anced handles. These can tip easily. See
“Burner and Grill Operation” section for
information on small pot support ring
(trivet).
•
•
Use of utensils having rough bottoms can
result in permanent damage to the top
edges of the porcelainized grates.
2.
Avoid using pots and pans with rounded
(concave or convex) or uneven bottoms,
or cookware that warps under heating.
The bottom of the utensil should touch all
grate support fingers evenly. Utensil
flatness can also be checked by placing a
straight edge (ruler) against the bottom of
the cooking vessel. There should be no
gap between the straight edge and the
utensil bottom. Utensils, whether full or
empty, should never rock on the grates. A
rounded utensil is more unstable and may
cause scorching or burning of food due to
uneven heating.
Large utensils may cause burner
flames to spread and curve around
edge of utensil. Turn heat down to
reduce flames.
•
Large utensils may cause flames to be
smothered and result in reignition to
commence. Do not use these utensils
if flames flutter and escape burners.
We recommend pots no larger than 11”
3.
Match the utensil to the cooking process.
Best cooking results are usually achieved
when utensils are nearly full. Choose the
utensil size accordingly. Specialty
cookware such as woks, pressure cook-
ers, canning madules, and deep fat fryers
must be carefully chosen to ensure that
they meet all safety guidelines contained in
thismanual.
26
Safety Precautions
•
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.
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU
burners can easily melt cookware handles.
•
•
•
Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen food or moisture on
fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers
when food is added.
•
Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry
potholder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
•
•
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
Never leave the burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. If the
burner flames are smothered by a severe
boilover, which affects the igniter, unburned
gas will escape into the room.
•
•
•
Never try to move a pan of hot fat. Wait
until the fat is cool.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for cooktop use.
•
•
Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
•
Do not leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flamma-
ble items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
turn cookware handles toward the side or back
of the cooktop without extending over adjacent
burners.
•
•
Keep all plastics away from the burners.
•
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
cooktop. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the cooktop to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air
openings are located on the bottom of the front
control panel.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop
– they may melt if left too close to the vent.
•
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always
be certain that the controls for all burners are
at the OFF position and all grates are cool
before attempting to remove them.
•
•
Always turn the burners to OFF before
removing cookware.
•
When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flames.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
CON’T
27
•
•
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the container under
the cooktop burners or the grill. Clean these
areas after each use or boilover.
For proper lighting and performance of
the burners keep the burner ports clean.
It may be necessary to clean these when
there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light, even though the electronic ignitors
click.
•
•
Clean the cooktop with caution. 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 manufacturer’s
directions.
Do not use the grill for cooking exces-
sively fatty meats or products which
promote flare-up.
•
•
DO NOT use cookware on the grill.
If cooktop is located near a window, do
not hang long curtains that could blow over
the burners and create a fire hazard.
•
Be sure all the controls are turned off
and the appliance is cool before using any
type of aerosol cleaner or cooking spray on or
around the appliance. The chemical that
produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
