AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION
If any one or more burners or grill
blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically sparks to re-light the
flame.
Do not touch the burners
when the igniters are sparking.
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 and
grill 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 and grill can
be lighted by holding a match at
the ports and turning the control
knob to the HI position. Wait until
the flame is burning all around the
burner cap or U-shaped burner
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 cannot be used during
a power failure.
If you smell gas, refer to safety
precautions listed inside the front
cover.
