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.
