Automatic Re-Ignition
If any one or more burners or grill blow out, the electronic igniter automatically acti-
vates to re-light the flame. Do not touch the burners when the igniters are
active.
Important: • For proper combustion do not use the cooktop without the burner grates in
place.
• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion and ignition. This is a
normal condition.
• On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound may be heard at the
burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off.
Power Failure
• I n the event of a power failure, only the standard burners can be manually lit. It
is necessary to light each one individually. If the cooktop is being used when the
power failure occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.
• The standard burners can be lit by holding a match at the ports and turning the
control knob to the position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired height.
• The ExtraLow burners cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn
them off.
• If the ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure occurs, it cannot be turned
back on until the knob is first turned off.
• The griddle or grill cannot be used during a power failure.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions in the front of this manual.
WARNING
In the event of a power failure, all knobs are to be turned to the OFF
Position. Only the standard burners can be lit manually.
Flame Height
• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2)
food being cooked; and 3) amount of liquid in the pan.
• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such
as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.
