COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to HI and will automatically reignite if the
flame is extinguished

If a cross draft is present, the flame may be affected and some
sparking may occur. This is normal.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HI.

2. Turn knob to 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 HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
The vent fan will not work.

Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap and head in place when
using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and head will help
prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner
cap and head after a spillover 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 spillovers
by always using a head and cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.

1. Remove the burner head and cap from the burner base and

clean according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
