Operation
About the Appliance
Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such
as boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.
WARNING
9
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene,
formaldehyde and soot. To minimize exposure to
these substances, the burners should be adjusted
by a certified installer or authorized servicer to
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation
fan or hood when cooking with Gas. Always operate
the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Normal Operation - Electronic Ignition/Reignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a
burner flame blows out during use, the burner will
automatically reignite.
CAUTION
9
To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per
installation instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
The igniter should be clean and dry for proper operation.
Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
▯
If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without
▯
igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a
flame is present.
Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn
the burner off. Check to see that the burner cap is
positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is
clean and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see "Before
Calling for Service".
When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the
igniter may occasionally spark. This is normal.

Typical Flame Characteristics
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with
no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should
burn completely around the burner cap.
Checking Flame Characteristics:
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft blue flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
▯
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
▯
up. Allow unit to operate 4 to 5 minutes and re-
evaluate before making adjustments.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
▯
flame during initial use. This should disappear with
use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged. ~ "Before
Calling for Service" on page 24
Note: An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner
is turned off manually. The "popping" may be louder with
LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and

stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
