in the cooktop's steel surface. Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or da-
maged.

Without power supply, the cooktop won't ignite. In this case, to ignite the cooktop, use
a match or a lighter, taking care to put the knob on the minimum gas flow position.
However, should the power supply fail during cooking, the cooktop will continue to
work properly. This means that the flame won't go out, and that the safety thermocouple
will also continue to work properly, as they do not need electrical power to function.
However, please beware that the cooker hood may not work without power, and thus fail
to aspire the fumes.
To achieve optimum surface cooking performance, select heavy gauge, flat, smooth
bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area as well as straight sides.
Remember to use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay
cool. To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surfaces burners.
Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they may be easily hit or reached by small children.
NOTES FOR COOKWARE ON GAS BURNERS
We recommend the following pan size for the different sizes of burner.
BURNER TYPE
Auxiliary
Semi-rapid
Rapid
Double crown, triple crown
Burner operational notes (fig. 10):
•
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will
light within a few seconds.
If using natural gas the flame will be blue with
a deeper blue inner cone.
•
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy the air/
!
gas mixture maybe incorrect. Contact a service
technician to adjust.
•
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are
acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is
not necessary.
•
If soot is noticed on pan bottom, contact a ser-
vice technician to adjust.
•
The flame should not extend beyond the edge of
the pan (fig. 11).
