USING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
IMPORTANT:
Make sure all cooktop burners are properly installed.
1.
To ignite a burner, push down on the burner control knob and turn it
counter-clockwise towards the "Hi" position. The clicking sounds indicate
the system is igniting.
2.
After the cooktop burner lights, release and turn the control knob between
Hi, Med, and Low to adjust the flame level.
NOTE:
For models with a flame failure safety device - Once the flame is lit,
hold the control knob depressed for about 3-4 seconds until the device
keeps the burner automatically lit. If the burner fails to ignite, wait one
minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to reignite.
3.
To turn off the burner, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually
with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath
the surface burner cap, then push down on the burner control knob and
slowly turn it counter-clockwise towards the "Hi" position. Once lit, release and
turn the control knob to adjust the flame level, and surface burner will
continue to operate normally.
NOTES:
In the case of unintentional flame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes
by shutting off the gas to the burners.
The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should
the burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned off,
immediately close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating.
Once ignited, adjust the flame as desired.
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a
diameter matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up
around the sides of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flat-
bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to
maintain boiling.
