Using Your Rangetop

Lighting the Burners

To light the burners, turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “on” position with the automatic reignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper height for the desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be removed, dusted, and replaced making sure that no flammable materials have ben accidentally placed in the grill.

Drip Tray/Pan

The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its proper place under the griddle or grill (if applicable).

Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable)

Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before using or storing.
