Lighting a Burner
WARNING
To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon •
monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your
cooktop without the burners completely and properly
assembled (see page 5). The burner rings spread the
flame evenly around the burner cap. The burner rings
must be properly seated for proper burner lighting and
operation.
In the interest of safety, always light the burner before
•
putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn the
burner knob to the off position before removing the
utensil. Always check the position of the control knobs
to make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
Do not turn the knob farther than the
• HIGH position
until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that
could cause burns or damage to the surrounding area.
Do not touch any part of the burner while the igniter is
•
sparking. An electrical shock could result.
Never light the burners with a match or other open
•
flame.
If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the
•
flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the
OFF position. Open a window and allow at least five
minutes for the gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting
procedure.
To light a particular burner, press down on the 1.
corresponding control knob and slowly rotate
it counterclockwise to the HIGH position (see
below). The igniter for the selected burner will
spark until the flame ignites. The igniter will stop
sparking when ignition occurs.
Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the
2.
desired level by rotating the control knob further
counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the
grate. The thickness of the flame level indicator
on the trim ring indicates the flame setting.
Selecting the Cookware
WARNING
NEVER cover the slots between the burner control •
knobs and the trim rings on the cooktop. Doing so
blocks air flow through the cooktop and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep all the slots clear of
grease and grime.
To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles
•
to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also,
handles should not extend over adjacent burners.
Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center
them so that they are well-balanced.
Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may
•
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do
not drop them on the grate.
Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent
•
damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level
•
if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame
that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous.
For overall safety and best cooktop performance,
select the correct cooking utensil for the food being
cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will
not cook evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
Has flat, smooth bottoms. •
Is well balanced. •
Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and •
steam in.
IMPORTANT : Avoid spills as much as possible.
The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and
burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof.
Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed
to remain on porcelain surfaces.
