Section 4: USING THE COOKTOP

AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION

If any one or more burners or grill blow out, the electronic igniter automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch the burners

when the igniters are active.

IMPORTANT:

•For proper combustion do not use the cooktop without the burner grates in place.

•There is a slight sound asso- ciated with gas combustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.

•On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off.

POWER FAILURE

•In the event of a power failure, the standard burners and grill can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each one individually.

•If the cooktop is being used when the power failure occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.

•The standard and grill burners can be lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the burner before adjusting the flame to the desired height.

•Neither ExtraLow burner can be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them off.

•If either ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure occurs, they cannot be turned back on until both knobs are first turned off.

•The XLO, griddle, and wok burners cannot be used during a power failure.

•If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed inside the front cover.

FLAME HEIGHT

•The correct flame height de- pends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and 3) amount of liquid in the pan.

•Never extend the flame be- yond the base of the pan.

•Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.
