RETAINED HEAT
Due to the heavy mass of this pro-
fessional range, heat will be retained
by the grates, burners, and top
frame.
FLAT
CONVEX (rounded)
CONCAVE (hollow)
Top performance of your new cooktop is directly related to the use of proper pots and pans. An
out-of-shape pan, without a lid, cannot possibly cook with the same speed and evenness as a pan
with a heavy, flat bottom and a good fitting lid.
Section Four: Using the Cooktop
Proper Cookware
CAUTION
•
Foods packaged in aluminum foil
should not be placed
directly on the burner grate for cooking: aluminum foil can melt.
•
Plastic, paper and cloth can melt or burn
when in contact
with a hot burner grate. Do not let these items come into
contact with the burner grate.
•
Do not allow pans to boil dry
. This can damage the pan, the
burner grate, the metal top frame and/or the burner cap and
base.
•
Heavy grates retain heat
long after flame has been turned
off. Be careful when removing.
all the way around the burner cap,
be sure the cap is positioned cor-
rectly on the burner base.
If the ports are clogged, use a wire,
a straightened paper clip or a
needle to clear the ports.
Do not
use a toothpick; it could break
off inside the port
. If the condi-
tion persists, contact a service
agency for adjustment.
The burner should light in 4
seconds or less
. If a burner does
not light, check to see that the cap
is positioned correctly on the
burner base.
Using the Cooktop
IMPORTANT
•
FOR PROPER COMBUSTION DO NOT USE THE COOK-
TOP WITHOUT THE BURNER GRATES IN PLACE.
•
IT IS NORMAL FOR A SLIGHT “POP” OR “FLASH” TO
OCCUR AT THE BURNER PORTS A FEW SECONDS AFTER
THE BURNER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS WILL ALSO
OCCUR WHEN THE FLAME IS TURNED OFF AUTOMATI-
CALLY IN THE EXTRALOW

MODE OF OPERATION.
