OPERATION
Extra Low Simmer (Small Burners
Only)
%
Extra Low Simmer is only available on small
burners. For the location of your small burners,
see the Burner Locations section. The simmer
function on the large burners applies heat to food
continuously.
Extra Low Simmer controls the heat by turning the
flame on and off at preset intervals. This allows foods
such as sauces, chocolate and jam to simmer longer
without scorching.
%
The intervals without flame become longer as you
move from S3 to S1.
%
The S4 simmer setting keeps the flame lit
continuously.
NOTE
%
It may look like the burners are turned off during
Extra Low Simmer.
%
It is normal for the flames to turn off and on
periodically during Extra Low Simmer.
%
The electric igniters automatically operate
periodically to reignite the burners.
Using a Wok
%
The large burner grates can be used as wok grates.
14-inch or smaller flat-bottom woks can be set directly
on the grate, if the wok bottom is large enough to sit
flat on the grate.
CAUTION
If using a round-bottomed wok, use the included
wok grate. Do not use a wok support ring. Placing
the ring over the burner or grate may cause the
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.
Using the Wok Grates
The large burner grates can be flipped over to handle
a wide variety of round-bottom woks.
1
Turn off all burners and allow the grates and
cooktop to cool before reversing the grates.
2
Flip the large burner grate so the wok grate is
facing up.
3
Use a 14" round-bottomed wok. Do not use a
wok that does not rest securely in the wok grate.
Wok Grate
NOTE
%
Do not use the wok grate with cookware other
than a wok.
%
Clean the wok grate with hot, soapy water. Do
not use oven cleaners, steel wool, or abrasive
cleansers.
CAUTION
%
Turn off all burners and allow wok grate, burner
grates, and cooktop to cool before reversing or
removing wok grate.
%
The wok grate retains heat for a long time.
Always use an oven mitt when installing or
removing the wok grate. Do not store the wok
grate on another burner grate.
%
Do not use flat-bottomed cookware or incorrectly
sized woks with the wok grate. The cookware or
wok could tip and cause personal injury.
%
Do not use a wok larger than 14" with the wok
grate. Doing so could cause burner flames to
spread excessively and damage the cooktop.
Using Stove-Top Grills
Do not place stove-top grills on the burner.
CAUTION
Do not use stove top grills on the surface burners.
Using a stove top grill on the surface burner will
cause incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be a health
hazard.
