Using Your Cooktop

Gas Cooktop

Electric ignition & relight

Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark even when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.

The burners on this cooktop relight automatically if the flame goes out. This helps prevent the inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner.

Occasionally, the burners may spark if excess wind or draft blows the flame away from the burner’s flame sensor.

All of the burner igniters spark while a burner is relighting.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme

caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

To light a burner

Push the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the desired position from HI to LO or simmer (SIM).

After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either direction to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

All of the burners can be used for both general cooking and simmering. The center burner is the maximum output burner for larger pans or fast boiling operations.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

For your convenience, the indicator lamp in the bezel for each knob verifies the burner is “ON”.

Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF” when you finish cooking.

How to select flame size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.

The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,

NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger

than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and

only serves to heat the handle.

NOTE: The center maximum output burner has an extra large flame. Use 10″ or larger diameter cookware when using high heat settings.
