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.
