IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
Gas. If you wish to use LP Gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
The cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic reignition. If
the burner flame should go out, the system will automatically
spark to reignite the burner.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned on.
The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 10,500,
and 12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal
for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and
pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h and 5,000 Btu/h) allow
more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal
for cooking smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and
pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
