HI and OFF.
Temperature control
Your cooktop offers awide range of temperature settings from c!elicateslow cooking to the
intense high temperatures needed for boiling and searing.
For general cooking purposes, turn the control knob to the HI setting to begin cooking or bring
food to the boil and adjust as necessary. Once your pan is hot, reduce the temperature to
maintain asteady heat to cook your food through. This will reduce cooking times.
Resultswill varydepending on the type of pans used and the quantities being cooked. You
will need to experiment with the temperature settings to match your desired cooking result.
Different types of cooking utensils will vary in efficiency.
Auto reqgnition
Auto re ignition is for your converfience and safety. The auto re ignition feature causes the
igniters to spark automatically and the burner to re light ifa flame blows out or if the flame is
severely distorted by a draft or a cooktop ventilation system.
Constant sparking
The igniters must be kept clean and dry to
work correctly. Dirty or wet igniters could
cause constant sparking, even ifa flame
is present. (SeeTroubleshooting guide).
Igniters can be kept clean
with a small brush and
rubbing alcohol.
If the burner has an inconsistent flame or does not light
Ifthe gasdoes not light within four seconds,turn the knob to OFF. Allow at least two minutes
for the gas to disperse before trying again.

A griddle isideal for cooking a variety of foods. Cook steak, tender cuts of meat, panini and char
grilled vegetables on the ribbed sideand griddle scones,pancakes,pikeJets,poJenta and eggs on
