If any one or more burners or grill
blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically sparks to re-light the
flame. Do not touch the burners
when the igniters are sparking.

• 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.

• The burner flame color should be

blue with no yellow on the tips. It
is not uncommon to see orange
in the flame color; this indicates
the burning of airborne impurities
in the gas and will disappear with
use.

• With propane (LP) gas, slight

yellow tips on the primary cone
are normal.

• The flame should burn completely

around the burner cap. If it doesn’t,
check that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base and that the
ports are not blocked.

• The flame should be stable with

no excessive noise or fluttering.

• 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.

• In the event of a power failure,

only the standard burners and
grill can be manually lit. It is
necessar y 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 and grill can

be lighted by holding a match at
the ports and turning the control
knob to the HI position. Wait until
the flame is burning all around the
burner cap or U-shaped burner
before adjusting the flame to the
desired height.

• Neither ExtraLow burner can be

used during a power failure. Be
sure to turn them off.

• If either ExtraLow burner is on

when a power failure occurs, they
cannot be turned back on until
both knobs are first turned off.

• The griddle cannot be used during

a power failure.

• If you smell gas, refer to safety

precautions listed inside the front
cover.
