COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate
is vacant.
To Set:
1.
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2.
Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting
Burner Use Suggestions:
Use the right front, right rear or left rear burners for simmering, or
for cooking smaller quantities of food requiring small cookware.
Use the left front POWER™ Burner for bringing liquids to a rapid
boil, cooking large quantities of food, or deep-fat frying requiring
large cookware.
Sealed Surface Burners
1. Burner cap
2. Burner base
3. Alignment pins
4. Ignitor
5. Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap:
Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spill-over
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening:
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of
soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any
other material to enter the gas tube opening.
Protect it from
spill-overs by always using a burner cap.
