12 Cooktop Features
BRASS BURNER RINGS
All burners are attached to the cooktop by retaining nuts. Gaskets around the
undersides of the burner bases ensure that the burners are sealed, thereby
preventing any liquid spills from entering the cooktop chassis. All spills remain on
the surface of the cooktop.
The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters.
The burner heads must seat properly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop
operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have been placed on the
bottom of each burner head to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner
base.
BURNER IGNITERS
A burner igniter is located on each gas burner base. When a control knob is rotated
more than 90 degrees counterclockwise, the igniter will spark and the selected
burner will ignite. Additionally, due to Vantage Flame™, the
automatic reignition feature, the igniters will spark automatically if a
flame should blow out or be severely distorted by a draft or by a
ventilation system. Burner igniters must always be kept clean and
dry to function properly. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant
sparking, even if there is a flame present. See Figure 3.
