COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to HI and will automatically reignite if the
flame is extinguished. All igniters will spark when lighting;
however, only the selected burner will ignite.
If a crossdraft is present, the flame may be affected and some
sparking may occur. This is normal.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HI.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
The vent fan will not work.
NOTE: The downdraft vent will not operate during a power
failure.
Flame-Sensing™ Reignition
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with Flame-Sensing™
ReIgnition. If any burner flame should go out, the system will
automatically spark to reignite the burner (all igniters will spark
when any flame is extinguished; however, only the selected
burner will reignite). If intermittent sparking occurs, increase
flame (rotate knob clockwise) until clicking (spark) sound ceases.
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The
Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under
each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger.
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when
the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame
length.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap and head in place when
using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and head will help
avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner
cap and head after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the
caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
