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.
