COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the
grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
IMPORTANT:
Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation
of the range.
To Set Burner Temperature:
1.
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2.
Turn knob to anywhere between High and Low. The clicking
will stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat
levels.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface
burners can be
lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
Surface Burners
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap:
Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
