COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
gas. If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new range. See the instructions included in
the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Three different sizes of burners are provided: 20,000 Btu/h
[British Thermal Units], 15,000 Btu/h, and 5,000 Btu/h.
The 20,000 Btu/h UltraPower™ dual-flame burner has an upper
and lower level of flame.
The Power Hi setting uses both flame levels at full power to
provide the highest heat and is ideal for cooking large quantities
of food or liquid, and using large pots and pans. The Simmer Hi
and Lo settings use the upper flame only and allow for accurate
simmer control and cooking of smaller quantities of food.
The 5,000 Btu/h burner reaches a low of 500 Btu/h, and is ideal
for cooking smaller quantities of food and melting chocolate or
butter.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without any
cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the
igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle or junction
box does not provide correct polarity, the igniter will become
grounded and occasionally click, even after the burner has
ignited. Contact a trained repair specialist to check the wall
receptacle or junction box to see whether it is wired with the
correct polarity.
Reignition Feature
During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due
to external causes (such as a water spill, wind or ventilation
draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When
the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the
draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may
continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the
low setting on a burner.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are
turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will
click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to
the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the
other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO.
Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI.
Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.
