Control
knobs
The control knobs are in front of the burner,
grille or griddle (on some models) they control.
The burners have an infinite number of heat
settings as there are no fixed positions between
HI and LO.
To turn ON a burner, push the control in, then
turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position.
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
You will hear the ignitor click. When the gas is
ignited all around the burner and into the
central simmer burner below the simmer cap,
turn the knob back to the desired setting.
When using the simmer burner always ensure
that it lights from the main burner.
Burners
Your new professional gas cooktop is equipped
with burners typical of those used in restaurants.
These burners are designed in two pieces for easy
cleaning and control.
The center, smaller cap covers and protects the
simmer burner from boilovers that could put the
flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer
burner heat out to avoid too much heat being
concentrated on the center of the pan.
The simmer burner is always on when the burner
is in use. The burner should never be operated if
the simmer cap is not in place.
The outer cap/port ring constitutes the main
burner and is in operation between the HI and
LO settings.
The burners have electronic spark ignition to
eliminate continuously burning pilots. When
the outer cap/port ring is on and the flame is
blown out, it will relight. The burners are rated
at 15,000 BTU around the outer cap/port ring.
When turned to the simmer setting, only the
center of the burner is lit, and it is rated at
500 BTU.
Push the control in and turn it counterclockwise
to the LITE position.
