Using Your Cooktop

Electronic ignitors

NOTE: Keep the ignitor, ignitor cap and burner ports clean.

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the ignitor is not clicking, turn off the burner. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the ignitor still fails to operate, check the Problem Solver in the back of this manual or the Power Failure information in this section.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off. This “extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.

Simmering

Your new professional gas cooktop has exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The center simmer cap serves as a heat diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid having a center hot spot. Keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity of the outer burner, and the mass of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional grates), some foods may continue to cook by retained heat after the burner has been turned off.

The simmer burner is lit from the outside burner flame.

The flame travels through the simmer ignition channels and crosses over onto the simmer burner located just beneath the simmer cap. When lighting only the simmer burner, always light the main burner first. This will in turn provide the ignition source for the simmer burner. Ensure that the simmer ports are lit before turning the control knob down to the simmer position. Should a strong draft or boilover extinguish the simmer flame, it will not relight automatically as the outer burner would.

Burner efficiency and flame characteristics

The burner flame should burn completely around and within the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.

An improper air-gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter or a yellow-tipped flame.

A technician should adjust the flame.

During initial use, foreign particles in the gas line, or dust in the air or around the appliance may cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.

36 specifications

The GE 36 is a modern, high-performance turbine engine developed by General Electric, primarily used in aviation applications. Renowned for its cutting-edge technologies, the GE 36 engine showcases an impressive blend of efficiency, power, and reliability, making it suitable for various aircraft, particularly in commercial and military sectors.

The engine incorporates lightweight composite materials in its fan and casing, which not only reduces overall weight but also enhances performance and endurance.

The GE 36 is equipped with state-of-the-art digital control systems that allow for precise monitoring and adjustments during flight. These systems utilize advanced algorithms to optimize engine performance, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. Moreover, the digital controls enable real-time diagnostics, allowing technicians to address potential issues promptly and ensuring the engine operates at peak efficiency throughout its lifespan.

A key characteristic of the GE 36 engine is its robust durability. Built to withstand the demanding conditions of flight, the engine undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability. Its parts are designed for longevity, reducing the frequency of maintenance interventions. This durability translates into cost savings for operators, as less downtime means increased operational efficiency.

The noise reduction capabilities of the GE 36 also stand out, thanks to its innovative acoustic designs and materials. These technologies mitigate the sound produced during takeoff and landing, aligning with global initiatives to reduce aviation noise pollution in urban areas.

Furthermore, the GE 36 embraces sustainability in its design. The engine supports the use of alternative fuels, allowing operators to comply with evolving environmental regulations while maintaining performance levels. With a focus on reducing the carbon footprint, the GE 36 represents a step forward in green aviation technology.

In summary, the GE 36 engine exemplifies modern aerospace engineering, incorporating advanced materials, digital control systems, and sustainable practices. Its combination of efficiency, performance, and reliability makes it a preferred choice for a wide range of aircraft applications in the competitive aviation landscape. As the industry continues to evolve, the GE 36 stands at the forefront, contributing to the future of aviation technology.
