Knobs and Spill Protector Rings

The control knobs provided with this cooktop

are designed for ease of use and longevity. The

“D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures

proper orientation when re-installing the knob.

The SGM knobs have a clearly defined chamfer

to make setting the desired heat an easy task.

Beneath each knob, a spill protector ring is

inserted into the opening in the cooktop. These

rings prevent liquid spills from entering the

chassis beneath the cooktop and show heat

control information. The control knobs and spill

protectors are made of a composite plastic

material that is resistant to staining.

See “Operating the Control Valves” for further

information.

SGM464GG Gas Grill (Barbecue)

The all gas grill location on the SGM464GG has

a 9,300 BTU burner that is set into the grease

control box just above the removable drip

tray. Just above the u-burner is a heat control

channel insert and on top of that sits a porcelain

coated grill. The center control knob operates an

automatic perma-flame ignition system for the

single U-shaped burner.

Selecting the Proper Cookware

Utensils will affect the overall safety and

performance of cooktop cooking, so it is

important to select them carefully. An improperly

selected utensil will not cook efficiently or evenly.

For best results, follow these guidelines:

1. Use medium to heavy gauge metal

cookware with flat and smooth bottoms for

greatest efficiency

2. Use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain

heat, odors, and steam.

Before Cooking

Ensure that the cooktop has been installed

by a qualified individual who has tested the

operation of the cooktop in accordance with the

Installation Instructions. The brass burner rings,

burner caps, grates, knobs, and spill protectors

must be in place for the cooktop to operate

properly. All cooktop components must be clean.

Be certain that the gas and electrical power

supplies to the cooktop are operational. Read

this

Use and Care Manual in its entirety prior to

operating the cooktop.

Operating the Control Valves

Indicating marks have been placed on the SGM

spill ring below each control knob to clearly

identify the burner controlled by each knob. The

burner being controlled is indicated by a flame

icon, while adjacent burners are illustrated by

gray ovals.

To light a particular burner, press down on the

corresponding control knob, then immediately

rotate the knob counterclockwise from the “OFF”

(Ø) position to the “HIGH” position (the thickest

part of the flame indicator line).

All ignitors will

spark continuously until the gas ignites on

the selected burner.

Once the burner is lit, reduce the flame height

if desired by rotating the control knob further

counterclockwise, then place the utensil on

the grate. The flame indicator lines indicate

progressively lower flame height as the lines get

thinner.

SGM Burner Control Valve

WARNING:

Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or

ignitor while the ignitors are sparking, as an

electrical shock could result.

IMPORTANT:

1. If the gas does not ignite within four

seconds, turn off the valve. Allow

at least two minutes for any gas to

dissipate, then repeat the lighting

procedure.

2. Burner ignitors must always be kept

clean and dry to function properly.

Due to the Perma-Flame™ reignition

feature, dirty or wet ignitors will result

in constant sparking, even if there is

a flame present. Additionally, ignitors

will spark automatically if the flame is

distorted by a draft or by a cooktop

ventilation system. Eliminate the draft or

reduce the ventilation blower speed in

this case.

4. When the cooktop is cool and/or more

than two burners are in use, the ignitors

may continue to spark if the control

knob is set to the “LOW” position. This

is normal until the burner warms up.

The tendency to spark under these

conditions can be reduced by operating

the burner at a higher flame setting

for a short period of time (normally

60 seconds or less), then adjusting

the control knob down to the “LOW”

setting. The burner will also warm up

faster if a utensil is placed on the grate.

5. The flame should be steady and blue in

color. Foreign material in the gas line,

especially in new construction, may

cause an orange flame during initial

operation. This will disappear with

further use.

6. The flame should burn evenly around

the perimeter of the burner, except

underneath each grate support finger

where the flame height is reduced by

the Smart-Flame feature. If the flame is

uneven, ensure that the brass burner

ring and porcelain burner cap are

properly positioned, then check for any

foreign material in the burner ring or

on the burner cap. Remove any foreign

material with a straightened paper clip,

wire, or needle. Do not use a toothpick

to remove clogs, as it could break off.

Do not damage the brass or distort the

shape of the burner ring ports.

7. Never light the burners with a match

or other open flame. If a burner does

not ignite, refer to the Troubleshooting

Guide.

Setting the Burner Flame

Setting the proper burner flame height for the

desired cooking process and selected utensil

will result in superior cooking performance,

while also saving time and energy. Follow these

recommendations for best results:

1. Use low or medium flame heights when

cooking in utensils that are poor conductors

of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast

iron cooking vessels. Reduce the flame

height until it covers approximately 1/3 of

the utensil diameter. This will ensure even

heating within the utensil and reduce the

likelihood of burning or scorching of food.

2. Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond

the bottom of the utensil. A flame that licks

along the sides of the utensil is potentially

dangerous, heats the utensil handle and

kitchen instead of the food, and wastes

energy.

3. Reduce the flame height to the minimum

level necessary to perform the desired

cooking process. Remember that food

cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it

does at a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining

a higher boil than is necessary wastes

energy, cooks away moisture, and causes

a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.
