AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION
If any one or more burners or grill
blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light
the flame.
Do not touch the burners
when the igniters are active.
IMPORTANT:
• For proper combustion do not
use the cooktop without the
burner grates in place.
• There is a slight sound
associated with gas
combustion and ignition. This is
a normal condition.
• On cooktops using propane
gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound
may be heard at the burner
ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off.
FLAME DESCRIPTION
• The burner flame color should
be blue with no yellow on the
tips. It is not uncommon to see
orange in the flame color; this
indicates the burning of
airborne impurities in the gas
and will disappear with use.
• With propane (LP) gas, slight
yellow tips on the primary cone
are normal.
• The flame should burn
completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the
cap is positioned correctly on
the base and that the ports are
not blocked.
• The flame should be stable with
no excessive noise or fluttering.
FLAME HEIGHT
• The correct flame height
depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2)
food being cooked; and 3)
amount of liquid in the pan.
• Never extend the flame beyond
the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame for
pan materials that conduct the
heat slowly, such as porcelain
coated steel or glass-ceramic.
POWER FAILURE
• In the event of a power failure,
only the standard burners can
be manually lit. It is necessary
to light each one individually.
• If the cooktop is being used
when the power failure occurs,
turn
all
knobs to the OFF
position.
• The standard burners can be lit
by holding a match at the ports
and turning the control knob to
the
position. Wait until the
flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the
flame to the desired height.
• Neither ExtraLow burner can be
used during a power failure.
Be
sure to turn them off.
• If either ExtraLow burner is on
when a power failure occurs,
they cannot be turned back on
until both knobs are first turned
off.
• The griddle or grill cannot be
used during a power failure.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety
precautions listed inside the
front cover.
