Cooktop Operation

Cooktop Features

Knobs and Spill Protector Rings

The control knobs provided with this cooktop are designed for ease of use and longevity. The “D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation when re-installing the knob.

The SGM knobs have a clearly defined chamfer to make setting the desired heat an easy task. Beneath each knob, a spill protector ring is inserted into the opening in the cooktop. These rings prevent liquid spills from entering the chassis beneath the cooktop and show heat control information. The control knobs and spill protectors are made of a composite plastic material that is resistant to staining.

See “Operating the Control Valves” for further information.

SGM464GG Gas Grill (Barbecue)

The all gas grill location on the SGM464GG has a 9,300 BTU burner that is set into the grease control box just above the removable drip tray. Just above the u-burner is a heat control channel insert and on top of that sits a porcelain coated grill. The center control knob operates an automatic perma-flame ignition system for the single U-shaped burner.

Selecting the Proper Cookware

Utensils will affect the overall safety and performance of cooktop cooking, so it is important to select them carefully. An improperly selected utensil will not cook efficiently or evenly. For best results, follow these guidelines:

1.Use medium to heavy gauge metal cookware with flat and smooth bottoms for greatest efficiency.

2.Use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain heat, odors, and steam.

Before Cooking

Ensure that the cooktop has been installed by a qualified individual who has tested the operation of the cooktop in accordance with the Installation Instructions. The brass burner rings, burner caps, grates, knobs, and spill protectors must be in place for the cooktop to operate properly. All cooktop components must be clean. Be certain that the gas and electrical power supplies to the cooktop are operational. Read this Use and Care Manual in its entirety prior to operating the cooktop.

Operating the Control Valves

Indicating marks have been placed on the SGM spill ring below each control knob to clearly identify the burner controlled by each knob. The burner being controlled is indicated by a flame icon, while adjacent burners are illustrated by gray ovals.

To light a particular burner, press down on the corresponding control knob, then immediately rotate the knob counterclockwise from the “OFF” (Ø) position to the “HIGH” position (the thickest part of the flame indicator line). All ignitors will spark continuously until the gas ignites on the selected burner.

Once the burner is lit, reduce the flame height if desired by rotating the control knob further counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the grate. The flame indicator lines indicate progressively lower flame height as the lines get thinner.

WARNING

Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or ignitor while the ignitors are sparking, as an electrical shock could result.

IMPORTANT:

1.If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve. Allow at least two minutes for any gas to dissipate, then repeat the lighting procedure.

2.Burner ignitors must always be kept clean and dry to function properly. Due to the Perma-Flame™ reignition feature, dirty or

wet ignitors will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present. Additionally, ignitors will spark automatically if the flame is distorted by a draft or by a cooktop ventilation system. Eliminate the draft or reduce the ventilation blower speed in this case.

4.When the cooktop is cool and/or more than two burners are in use, the ignitors may continue to spark if the control knob is set to the “LOW” position. This is normal until the burner warms up. The tendency to spark under these conditions can be reduced by operating the burner at a higher flame setting for a short
