Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
In case of a prolonged power failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted.
1. Hold a lit striker near a burner and turn
the control knob to the HI position.
2. After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: Do not leave a burner on without any
cookware on the grate. The grate finish can
be damaged.
Simmer Plate†
One Simmer Plate has been provided with
your cooktop. It
has been
designed to be
used with burner
settings in the
medium to low
range on your
cooktop when
lower tempera-
tures are required
for simmering or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to
evenly spread the heat over the bottom of
cookware.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate
(see diagram at
left) have been
designed so it fits
properly and
securely over the
grate.
