When properly used and cared for
your new Wind Crest Cooktop has
been designed to be a safe, reliable
appliance. When using kitchen
appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed,
including the following:
gas shut-off valve is located so that
you know how and where to turn
off the gas to the cooktop.
light even though the electric
igniters click. See cleaning and
general care section.
If you smell gas, your installer has
not done a proper job of checking
for leaks. Connections can loosen
in transit. If the connections are
not perfectly tight, you can have a
small leak and therefore a gas
smell. 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.
The cooktop is factory assembled
for natural gas. It should be
correctly adjusted by a qualified
service person or installer for the
type of gas with which it is used.
Read this Use and Care annual
carefully before using your new
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE
BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE
SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the
burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Never leave the burners unattended when using high
flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the
flame is smothered, unburned gas will be coming into
the room. See “What to do if you smell gas,” page 2.
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 at the back. If children should
climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could
be seriously injured.
Always use utensils that have flat bottoms. Hold the
handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
Do not store flammable materials on or near the
cooktop.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
unintentional spillovers, position handles of utensils so
that they do not extend over adjacent work areas,
burners, or the edge of the cooktop.
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.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come in contact with the burners or the
burner grates, until they are cool to the touch.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may
break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium flame settings according to
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not
let potholders touch hot burners or burner grates.
manufacturer’s directions.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose
fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be
worn while cooking.
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the curtains
do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch
on fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the
cooktop. Improper use of a foil liner could result in a
shock, fire hazard or it could obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will
upset the cooking performance and can damage the
cooktop finish.
In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a
window or door. Do not attempt to use the cooktop until
the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least 5
minutes before using the cooktop.
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.
Warning: The appliance is for cooking. Based on
safety considerations never use the cooktop to warm or
heat a room. Also, such use could be damaging to the
cooktop.
Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when
intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the
cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely
spread the flames.
Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst.
To achieve optimum cooking performance do not use
warped pots and pans. For safety reasons do not use
unbalanced pots and pans – heavy handles or warped
bottoms can cause pans to be unstable
Match the pot size to the burner and flame size. The
flame should be equal to or smaller than the pan bottom.

California Proposition 65 – Warning: Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of
substances which are know by the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to these substances. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

Electronic Ignition
Each burner has an igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on, or during re-ignition if the flame is extinguished.
When a flame is present the igniter will stop sparking. If a cross draft is present the flame can be affected and some
sparking can occur. This is normal.
The igniter can get dirty due to normal cooking splatter or spills. This may cause nuisance sparking. The igniter can be
cleaned by using a Scotch Brite cleaning pad to clean the igniter disk. Do not touch the igniter on the burner if the control
is in the ON position. Hold the pad against the igniter tip and using light pressure rotate the pad in a circular motion. A
few rotations are usually sufficient to clean the surface.
If a burner does not ignite in approximately 4 seconds, check the positioning of the burner head to be sure the tabs and
notches are properly aligned.
Grates
Grates are to be properly installed onto cooktop.
Model CTG304D – Has two symmetrical grates. Position side by side into recessed area of cooktop over burners.
Model CTG305D – Has two non-symmetrical grates. Position side by side into recessed area of cooktop over burners.
Center burner section of grates match each other over center burner.
Model CTG365D – Has three grates; two larger symmetrical grates and one smaller center grate. Position larger grates
into recessed area of cooktop on each side of control area. Smaller center grate fits between the larger grates.
CAUTION: THE GRATES ARE HEAVY. USE BOTH HANDS AND SPECIAL CARE WHEN LIFTING.
PROVIDE SURFACE PROTECTION WHEN PLACING ON COUNTERTOP.
CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE
CAUTION: CONTROLS SHOULD BE OFF AND SURFACES COOL BEFORE
CLEANING.
Control Knob
When in place on cooktop, wipe with a damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used. Do not soak. If removed and
cleaned, be sure the knob has dried fully before reinstalling.
DO NOT FORCE KNOB ONTO CONTROL STEM. ALIGN THE FLAT ON STEM WITH THE FLAT ON
KNOB AND GENTLY PUSH INTO PLACE.
Burner Base
Use cloth or Scotch Brite pad dampened with a water and detergent solution. Rub in circular motion.
AVOID SCRATCHING STAINLESS STEEL WITH SCOTCH BRITE PAD.
Burner Head
Scotch Brite pad dampened with a water and detergent solution. Rub in circular motion.
AVOID USING HARSH SCOURING PADS AND ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
If parts become clogged, clean using a paper clip. Do not use toothpick, which can break and clog the parts.
10
Grates
The grates are porcelain enamel coated cast iron. Non-abrasive cleaners are preferred. Use a hot or warm water and
detergent solution. Mild abrasive cleaners, such as Bon Ami®, are acceptable. After cleaning always rinse and dry
immediately. If grates are extremely dirty, a Scotch Brite pad will aid cleaning. Acidic and sugar-laden spills attack the
porcelain – remove soil immediately.
Note: The grates will show discoloration, crazing, and chips due to high heat exposure. This is normal.
Stainless Steel
Although stainless steel is strong and durable, and resists most food stains it can be affected by some compounds and food
spills. Remove spills and salt as soon as safely possible – don’t leave exposed for long periods of time. Always rub
lightly in direction of brush (graining) lines. Chlorine can be corrosive – always check ingredients on cleaner label.
Non-abrasive cleaners or hot water and detergent solutions are recommended. Always rinse and dry immediately.
Hard water spots can be removed with household white vinegar.
Stainless Steel Magic® is an acceptable cleaner/polish to protect the stainless finish and appearance. Mild abrasive
cleaners such as Bon Ami®, Kleen King Stainless Steel Cleaner, Cameo Aluminum and Stainless Cleaner can be used
depending on the clean up necessary.
The high quality 300-series stainless steel can discolor when exposed to high heats. Bar Keepers Friend® or Revere
Stainless Steel Cleaner will remove the discoloration. Always rub in the direction of the brush (graining) lines.
Igniter
Avoid excess water on igniter. Damp or wet igniters can prevent the burner from lighting. Use a Scotch Brite pad, dry or
damp, to clean stainless tip. Use a cotton swab dampened with water, ammonia, or formula 409 to clean ceramic.
