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 asso-
ciated 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 com-
pletely 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 de-
pends 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 be-
yond the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame
for pan materials that con-
duct 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 and wok burners
cannot be used during a
power failure.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety
precautions listed inside the
front cover.
WARNING
In the event of a power fail-
ure, all knobs are to be
turned to the OFF Position.
Only the standard burners
and the grill can be lit manu-
ally.
