indicator markings have been placed on the spill Protector Rings
and on the control bezel/panel, next to each control knob, to
clearly identify the burner controlled by each knob. to indicate
whether the knob controls burners on the front or rear, the knobs
are grouped by two’s accordingly. the burner being controlled
is indicated by a blue “NeON” indicator light, while the adjacent
(front or rear) burner is illustrated by a half sphere bump, of the
same control bezel material, located also on the control panel.
to light a particular burner, press in on the corresponding control
knob, then immediately rotate the knob counterclockwise from the
“OFF” (ø) position to the “HigH” position (larger end of the curvy
comet-shape marking on the spill Protector Rings). all ignitors
will spark continuously until the gas ignites on the selected
burner. ignition should occur within four seconds of turning to this
position. the ignitors will stop sparking as soon as the burner
ignites.
Once the burner is “ON”, reduce the flame height by rotating the
control knob further, counterclockwise, then place the utensil on
the grate. Progressively lower flame heights are achieved as the
knob is turned toward the small end (tip) of the spill Protector
Ring marking (counterclockwise).
there are a total of four burners, including two large burners
rated at a maximum output of 1,500 Btu/HR and two medium
burners rated at a maximum output of 9,500 Btu/HR. the two
large burners are located at the front right and the rear left of the
cooktop, and the two medium burners are located in the back right
and the front left.
ImPortant:
1. If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, then turn off the
valve. allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate, then
repeat the lighting procedure.
2. Burner ignitors must always be kept clean and dry to function
properly. Due to the Perma-Flame re-ignition feature, dirty or wet
ignitors will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame
present. additionally, ignitors will spark automatically if the
flame is distorted by a draft or by a ventilation system. eliminate
the draft or reduce the ventilation blower speed in this case.
3. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or ignitor while the
ignitors are sparking. an electrical shock could result.
4. When the cooktop is cool and/or more than two burners are in
use, the ignitors may continue to spark if the control knob is set
to the “loW” position. this is normal until the burner warms up.
the tendency to spark under these conditions can be reduced
by operating the burner at a higher flame setting for a short
period of time (normally 60 seconds or less), then adjusting the
control knob down to the “loW” setting. the burner will also
warm up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate.
5. the flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material
and dust in the gas line and/or in the environment, especially
in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial
operation. this will disappear with further use.
6. the flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of the
burner, except underneath each grate support finger, where the
flame height is reduced by the smart-Flame™ feature. If the
flame is uneven, ensure that the brass burner ring and porcelain
burner cap are properly positioned, then check for any foreign
material in the burner ring or on the burner cap. remove any
foreign material with a straightened paper clip, wire, or needle.
Do not damage the brass or distort the shape of the burner ring
ports.

For Rse range top, rotate one surface element knob at a time,
counterclockwise, to the “Hi” position. within 5 seconds, the
element should be fully energized and glowing red. verify that
the residual heat indicator light comes on in conjunction with the
proper element, within approximately 30 seconds. Return the knob
to the “OFF” position. Repeat for all surface elements. (Note: the
right front element is a dual coil element. clockwise rotation from
“lO” to “Hi” will energize the inner coil only. counterclockwise
rotation from “lO” to “Hi” will energize both the inner and outer
coils together).
RSE Range Control Knob
to turn the element on, tap the “ON/OFF” key then tap the slew
up/down area of the desired element. the element will come on at
a setting of the number touched and may be adjusted up or down
by slewing up or down on the appropriate key area with your
finger.
to activate the dual Outer element, tap the circle key at the end
of the slew area (second row), then tap or slew your finger up or
down on the second row of numbers. the outer ring element will
come on at a setting of the number touched last.
to turn the element off, tap the “ON/OFF” key. You may turn
off all active elements at the same time by tapping twice on the
“caNcel•secuRe” key located below the controls
note:
When the mres unit is powered on for the first time, the cooktop
control will go through a self-check routine. When the self-check
is complete, the cooktop control will go to seCure mode. see
securing the Controls section for more information.

to avoid accidentally turning the cooktop on while cleaning it,
activate the “secure lockout” feature.
