5 - Gas Cooktop Operation

Gas Control Knob Setting

Electric gas ignition

The gas burner use an electric ignition device located near each burner that by means a spark igniters ensure its surface light automatically.

ELECTRIC IGNITION

Gas burners

The gas burners design of these cooktop models, allow a pleasing option for cooking where size, power and simmering are a primary concern.

Burners with two ﬂame rings

This special burner has two separate ﬂame rings to provide a complete heat regulation from high power to simmering.

To set :

1. Push and turn the knob counter clockwise withing the main HI - LO range, when the burner is turned on, the main ﬂame and the Simmer ﬂame will both ignite and remain on.

2. Set desired temperature within the main HI - LO range.

Note: The knob has a designed stop at MED heat setting. To

continue to low and / or simmer, push the knob in as you continue to turn counter-clockwise. This method is not required to go from LO / Simmer to OFF.

Models with automatic re-ignition

The electronic auto re-ignition lights the surface burner when the corresponding control knob is turned at any valve rotation allowing sufﬁcient gas ﬂow to support a ﬂame. If any burner ﬂame goes out for any reason, the igniter automatically sparks to relight the ﬂame.

NOTE: this feature is provided as a convenience and is not

intended as a safety feature.

To set:

• Push and turn a knob counter clockwise to any setting, the corresponding spark plugs will generate a clicking sound (spark), the burner will produce a ﬂame and reignite automatically if the ﬂame goes out.

WARNING

• Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

• Do not touch the burner when the igniters are clicking (sparking).

• Do not let the burner ﬂame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

• Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Simmer setting

Continue turning the knob counter-clockwise to the ‘HILO SIMMER’ range. The outer ﬂame ring will go out and temperature adjustment can be made using the inner ﬂame ring only.

Turning off the burner

Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go to the off position. Ensure ﬂame extinguishes fully.

KNOB BURNER

Failure to follow these instruction can result in personal injury or ﬁre.

5 - Gas Cooktop Operation

The Burner Flames

Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner ﬂames should not ﬂutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the ﬂame should be between 1/2” and 3/4” long.

NOTE: • Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new

construction, may cause an orange ﬂame during initial operation. The orange color will disappear with further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the ﬂames are normal when using LP gas.

• If the ﬂame is not even around the edge of the burner, wait for the cooktop to cool and check to make sure the burner is assembled properly

Super Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT

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

Burner cap and gas spreader

Always keep the burner cap and gas spreader in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and spreader will help prevent poor ignition and uneven ﬂames. Always clean the parts after a spillover and routinely remove and clean according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Burner ports

Check burner ﬂames occasionally. 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 gas burner:

IMPORTANT

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to cleaning section.

2. Remove the burner spreader.

Clean the gas tube opening and burner port according to

cleaning section.

3. Clean the burner base with a damp cloth (keep the gas injector area free of cleaning agents and any other material from entering the injector oriﬁce).

4. Replace the burner spreader and cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the slots.

5. Turn on the burner.

If the burner does not light, check cap and spreader

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the gas burner yourself.

Contact a trained repair specialist.

Burner base and injector

Gas must ﬂow freely throughout the injector oriﬁce to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the injector oriﬁce opening. Protect it during cleaning.

BURNER FLAME

Be sure when lighting the burner:

• Gas spreader is seated correctly and pin is properly aligned with burner base slot.

• Cap is seated correctly and pin is properly aligned with gas spreader slot.

EXPLODED VIEW OF BURNER

6 - Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a ﬂat bottom, straight sides, a well ﬁtting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough ﬁnishes may scratch the cooktop.

Aluminium and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick ﬁnish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminium cookware with a non-stick ﬁnish will take on the properties of aluminium.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum:

Heats quickly and evenly. Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.

WARNING

BALANCED PAN

Cast Iron:

Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass:

Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Copper:

Heats very quickly and evenly.

Earthenware:

Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use on low heat settings.

Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron:

See stainless steel or cast iron.

Stainless steel:

Heats quickly, but unevenly. A core or base of aluminium or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size

CONCAVE (HOLLOW)

CONVEX (ROUNDED)

FLAME TOO LARGE FOR PAN SIZE

The ﬂame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high ﬂame settings as the ﬂames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.

Use Balanced Pans

Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center pan over burner.

Use a Lid That Fits Properly

A well-ﬁtting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.

USE LIDS THAT FIT PROPERLY

UNBALANCED PAN

7 - Cleaning the Cooktop

The entire Cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below.

ATTENTION

• Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the grates are cool.

• Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

• Rub stainless steel ﬁnishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.

• Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any selfcleaning oven.

• After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop.
