C A U T I O N

Before placing the cooktop intooperation, always check for gas leakswith a soapy water solution or other acceptablemethod. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

A qualified installershould carryout thefollowing checks:

hCheck top burner ignition.The lowflame should

light at everyport.

hStarting with the left

front burner,tur n the corresponding knob to theHI position – seedrawing forproper flameheight.

IMPORTANT:Any conversionrequired must be performed byyour dealeror aqualified licensed plumber or gasservice company.The proper conversion kit mustbe orderedfrom your authorized service agencyor dealer.

hRepeat steps for other burners.

Surface Operation

Lighting Burners

ll burners areignited

y electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.

Surface Burners/ Automatic Re-Ignition

o light thesurface burners,push andturn the a

ppropriate control knob counter clockwiseto any position. This control is botha gasvalve andan electric switch. Burnerswill igniteat any“ON” position with theautomatic re-ignitionsystem. Ifthe flame goes outfor anyreason, theburners will automatically re-ignite if thegas isstill flowing.When gas is permittedto flowto theburners, the electric igniters start sparking.On allsurface ignitersyou should hear a“clicking” sound.If youdo not,tur n off the control and checkthat theunit isplugged inand that the fuseor circuitbreaker isnot blownor tripped.

Within afew moments,enough gaswill havetraveled to the burnerto light.When theburner lights, turn the burner controlto anyposition toadjust theflame size. Setting theproper flameheight forthe desired cooking process and selectingthe correctcooking vessel will result in superiorcooking performance, while also savingtime andenergy. Ifany oneor more surface burners orgrill burnersextinguish, the electronic igniter automatically activatesto re-lightthe flame. DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNERS WHEN THE IGNITERS ARE ACTIVE.

It is notuncommon tosee extinguishedflames, when:

• Proper ventilationis not used

• When theoven door is opened orclosed rapidly

• When spilloverof liquids or foods occur

• When theincorrect gas or impure gas is used

Surface Cooking Tips

• Use low or medium flameheights whencooking in

vessels that are poor conductorsof heat,such as glass, ceramic, andcast-iron. Reducethe flame height until itcovers approximately1/3 ofthe cooking vessel diameter.This will ensure more even heating within thecooking vesseland reducethe likelihood of burningor scorchingthe food.

• Reduce the flame if itis extendingbeyond the

bottom of thecooking vessel.A flamethat extends along the sidesof thevessel ispotentially dangerous, heats the utensilhandle andkitchen instead of thefood, andwastes energy.

•

Reduce the flameheight tothe minimumlevel necessary to performthe desiredcooking process. Remember that foodcooks justas quicklyat a gentle boil asit doesat arolling boil.Maintaining a higher boil thanis necessarywastes energy,cooks a

way moisture, and causesa lossin foodflavor and

utrient level.

•

The minimum potor pan(vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15cm). Useof potsor pansas small as 4”(10 cm)is possiblebut not recommended.

VariSimmer™

Simmering is acooking techniquein whichfoods are cooked in hotliquids keptat orjust barelybelow the boiling point ofwater. Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling toprevent foodfrom toughening and/or breaking up. Thesize ofthe pan and the volumeof foodcan havea significanteffect on how highor lowa flameis neededfor simmering. For this reason, Viking rangeand rangetopburners are engineered with a VariSimmer setting. The VariSimmer setting is not just onesimmer setting,but provides a variable rangeof simmersettings. This variable range ofsimmer settingsallows youto adjust the flame heightto achievethe bestsimmer depending on thetype andquantity offood being simmered. It is thisability thatmakes theVariSimmer setting the mostaccurate andtrustworthy simmeron the market.

TruPower Plus™ Burner (whereapplicable)

Certain model rangesare equippedwith aTruPower Plus 18,500 BTUburner inthe frontright burner position. This burneris designedto provideextrahigh heat output,especially whenusing largepans, and should beused forboiling largequantities orif you need tobring somethingto aboil quickly.While the TruPowerPlus burner has theextra powerneeded to bring large quantities ofliquid toa boilrapidly, itis also able tobe turneddown lowenough to provide a very low anddelicate simmermaking thisburner the most versatile onthe market.

ll products are wiped cleanwith solventsat the

actory to remove any visiblesigns ofdirt, oil,and

rease which may haveremained fromthe manufacturing process. Before starting tocook, clean the rangetop thoroughly with hot,soapy water. There may be someburn offand odorson firstuse of the appliance—this is normal.

Cooking Vessels

This isa matterof personal choice. Aswith anycookware, yoursshould be in goodcondition andfree fromexcessive dents on the bottomto providemaximum performanceand convenience.

Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.

Char-Grill Operation

• Turnthe overheadventilation on priorto turningthe

grillon.

• Turnthe grillknob counterclockwiseto “HI”.

• Alwayspreheat the grillfor 5-10minutes before

placingfood onthe grillgrate.

• Placefood itemson thegrill, cookas desired.

• Toturn thegrilloff, turnthe grill knobclockwise to

the“OFF” position.

Char-Grill Cooking Tips

• Whengrilling chicken,roasts, well-donesteaks or

chops,and thickpieces ofmeat, searon “HI”. Then, reducethe heatsettingto preventexcessiveflare-up. Thiswill allowthe foodto cookthrough without burningthe outside.

• Aftersteaks, chops,or hamburgers havebeen

allowedto searfor approximatelyone minute,you mayslide aspatula underthe meatand turnit approximately90 degreesto createa wafflepattern.

• Usea metalspatula insteadof tongsor afork toturn

themeat. Aspatula willnot puncturethe meat allowingjuices toescape.

• Turnthe meat overonly once.Juices arelost when

steaks,chops orhamburgersare turnedseveraltimes. Thebest timeto turnthe meatis afterthe juices have begunto bubbleto thesurface.

• Totest for doneness,make asmall slashin thecenter

of themeat, notthe edge.This willprevent lossof juices.

• Occasionallytheremay beflare-ups or flamesabove

thegrill dueto drops offat fallingon the flavorgeneratorplates. Use along handledspatula tomove foodto anotherarea untilthe flamessubside.

• Forease ofcleaning, leavethe char-grillon for10

minuteswhen finishedgrilling. Thiswill helpmake cleanupeasier once thechar-grill hascooled down andlower theheat betweencooking.
