Before Using Cooktop
Getting Started
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil,
and grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before cooking, clean the
cooktop thoroughly with a hot, soapy damp cloth.
All models include:

burners, light at any position on the knob, and
relight if extinguished.

Cookware
Each cook has his or her own preference for the
particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate
for the type of cooking being done. Any and
all cookware, including Viking cookware, is
suitable for use. This is a matter of personal
choice. As with any cookware,
yours should be in good
condition and free from
excessive dents on the
bottom to
provide maximum
performance and
convenience.
Note:
When using big pots and/or high flames, it
is recommended to use the front burners. There is
more room in the front and potential cleanup at
rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration
will be minimized.
Surface Operation
Lighting Burners
All burners are ignited by
electric ignition. There are no open-
flame, “standing” pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic
Re-ignition
To light the surface burners,
push and turn the appropriate
control knob counterclockwise
to any position. This control is
both a gas valve and an electric
switch. Burners will ignite at any
“ON” position with the automatic
re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any
reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow
to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking.
On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking”
sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check
that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or
circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Rear and Front Burners
Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise
to the desired setting. The control knobs can be
turned to any desired setting as the knobs do not
have fixed positions between “hi” and “simmer”.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have
traveled to the burner to light. When the burner
lights, turn the burner control to any position to
adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame
height for the desired cooking process and
selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in
superior cooking performance, while also saving
time and energy.
Note:
The igniters may click a number of times
before the burner ignites. This is normal. All igniters
will spark regardless of which burner is being
operated.
