GE Monogram ZEW164 Cooktop User Manual


 
USING YOUR GAS BURNER COMPONENT
The ZGW124 and ZGW125 gas cooktops are not convertible
to LP gas. They are designed to operate on natural gas only.
This component has one large 1O,5OO-BTUburner and one smaller
6,000-BTU burner.
When a downdraft vent is used next to a gas component, food
will cook faster if you use a low vent setting and keep the pan
covered (if recipe allows).
Automatic Ignition
Both burners on this gas cooktop component are
lighted by electric ignition that eliminates the need
for standing pilot lights.
All the igniters make sparking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters
are sparking.
Auto Relight
The burners on this gas cooktop automatically relight
if the flame goes out. This helps prevent the
inconvenience of manually having to relight a burner.
As with automatic ignition, all of the burner igniters
spark while a burner is relighting. Do not touch any of
the burners when the igniters are sparking.
The burners will relight at any setting. However, for
the burners to light quickly and consistently when the
gas is turned on, the knobs should be turned to the
LITE position until ignition occurs.
Power Outage
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface

cThe front burner is best for smaller pans and
cooking operations requiring carefully controlled
simmering conditions. The rear burner is the high
power burner for larger pans and fast boiling
operations.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
. Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use.
. Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
