Getting Started

 

Make sure the burner cap is completely seated on the burner base before

 

attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is not placed correctly, the burner

 

may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly. The appliance is

 

equipped with two types of burners: standard and diffusion. See the sections

 

below for further information on each.

 

Diffusion Burner Caps

 

Depending on the model, the appliance is equipped with between 1 and 2 diffu-

 

sion burner caps. They provide a more even heat, especially when cooking at

 

lower temperatures.

Burner Grates

WARNING:

 

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner

 

grates properly positions. Do not use a grate if the feet are missing or damaged.

 

There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the

 

right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the

 

burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the

 

grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.

Electronic Ignitor

The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners, There is no pilot light.

 

Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and

 

dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner

 

does not light even though the ignitor clicks.

 

CAUTION:

 

All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any

 

of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

High Power Burner

The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the

 

cooktop. The burner cap retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low

 

settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle,

 

more predictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large

 

amounts of sauces or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large amounts

 

of water to a boil.

Precision Burner

The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for

 

gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco-

 

late or to prepare delicate sauces.
