using your new cooktop: burners
SEALED BURNERS:
The range features four, six, or eight gas surface burners;
each rated at 15,000 BTUS/HR. The burners are sealed to
the stainless steel top frame to prevent liquid spills from
accumulating below the top surface, making it easier to
clean. Each burner has its own control knob.
burner operation:
1) Depress the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the
High position.
2) The igniter for the selected burner clicks and sparks.
3) After flame ignition, the igniters stop clicking.
4) Rotate the knob to any flame setting between “HI” and
“Sim”
(note: for pre-2006 models LO and SIM are the same)
ELECTRONIC IGNITERS:
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when
the burner is turned on. Each burner should light within 4
seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see
that the cap is positioned correctly on the base.
DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to the section “Before Calling
For Service.”
automatic re-ignition:
If any one or more burners or grill blow out, the electronic
igniter automatically sparks to relight the flame. Again, DO
NOT touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.
before using your cooktop for the first time:
Record the Model and Serial number of your appliance on the
Service Page of this use and care guide. This may be used for
any future contact with your service technician or the factory.
Also, enter this information on the Product Registration Card
included with this product, and mail it to the indicated address.
WARNING!
Power Failure:
In the event of a power failure, only the sealed burners
and grill can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each
one individually. If the range is being used when the
power failure occurs, turn ALL knobs to the OFF position.
Holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob
to the HI position can light the standard burners. Wait
until the flame is burning all around the burner cap before
adjusting the flame to the desired height. Neither the grill
nor the griddle burner can be used during a power failure.
If you smell gas, refer to safety instructions listed inside
the front cover.
IMPORTANT:
For proper combustion, do not use the cooktop without
the burner grates in place.
NOTE:
There is a slight sound associated with gas
combustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.
On ranges 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.
Fig. 1
FLAME HEIGHT (see fig. 1) :
1) The correct flame height depends upon a) size
and material of pan being used; b) food being cooked;
and c) amount of liquid in the pan.
2) Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
3) Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain-coated steel or
glass ceramic.
4) The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
tips. It is uncommon to see orange in the flame color; this
indicates the burning of airborne impurities in the gas and
will disappear with use.
5) With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the
primary cone are normal.
6) The flame should burn completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly
on the base and that the ports are not blocked.
7) The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or
fluttering.
