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 range 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.
