COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when 
control knobs are turned to HIGH and will automatically reignite if 
the flame is extinguished. All igniters will spark when lighting; 
however, only the selected burner will ignite.
If a crossdraft 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 HIGH.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. 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 HIGH. After burner lights, turn knob to 
setting. The vent fan will not work.
NOTE: The downdraft vent will not operate during a power failure.
Flame-Sensing™ ReIgnition
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with Flame-Sensing™ 
ReIgnition. If any burner flame should go out, the system will 
automatically spark to reignite the burner (all igniters will spark 
when any flame is extinguished; however, only the selected burner 
will reignite).
If intermittent sparking occurs, increase flame (rotate knob 
clockwise) until clicking (spark) sound ceases.
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The 
Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under 
each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger. 
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when 
the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame 
length.
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.
