Section Four: Using the Cooktop

COOKTOP OPERATION

ELECTRONIC IGNITION

FLAME HEIGHT

IGNITER

The cooktop uses electronic ignit- ers to light the burners. Each burner has its own igniter that sparks when any burner is turned on. When the igniters are clicking (sparking), do not touch the burn- ers. If a burner fails to ignite, see “Before Calling For Service,” Page 28.

AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION

If any burner flame blows out, the electronic igniter automatically sparks on all burners to relight the flame. Do not touch any burner while the igniters are clicking.

POWER FAILURE

In the event of a power failure, only the standard burners can be lighted manually (the burners on the left on Models GGS & SGS cannot be lit). It is necessary to light each standard series burner individually.

If the cooktop is being used when the power failure occurs, turn all the burner control knobs to the OFF po-

The correct height of the flame de- pends on the size and material of the utensil being used, the food being cooked and how much liquid is in the utensil. Here are some basic rules for selecting the flame height.

sThe flame should never extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

sUtensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with a low or medium flame unless you are cooking with a large amount of liquid.

BURNER EFFICIENCY and FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap.

Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use.

If the flame does not burn evenly all the way around the burner cap, be sure the cap is resting correctly on the burner base.

CAUTION

▲Foods packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed di- rectly on the burner grate for cooking: aluminum foil can melt.

▲Plastic, paper and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot burner grate. Do not let these items come in con- tact with the burner grate.

▲Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, the burner grate, the cooktop glass and/or the burner plate.

sition. Then, the standard 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 the way around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired height.

The two ExtraLow™ (Models GGS & SGS) burners, on the left side, cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them OFF if a power failure occurs, as they will not turn back on until both control knobs are turned OFF and then turned back on again. See “What To Do If You Smell Gas,” Page 1.

If the ports are clogged, use a wire, a straightened paper clip or a needle to clear the ports. Do not use a tooth- pick; it could break off inside the port. If the condition persists, contact a service agency for adjustment.

The burner should light in 4 sec- onds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is resting correctly on the burner base.

FOR PROPER COMBUSTION

DO NOT USE THE COOKTO

WITHOUT THE BURNER GRATES IN PLACE.
