COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Burner Operation
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking
and greasy spills that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat and/or ignite very
quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or
incompletely assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See
‘Replacing the Burner Parts’ in ‘Care and Cleaning’ on page 30.
Keep the burners clean. After a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter
and the notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning
correctly. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ for instructions.
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is does not extend beyond the edge
of the cooking utensil. As a matter of safety, it's recommended that you comply with
these instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both
inefficient and unsafe. The flame should
always be adjusted so that it is no larger
than the bottom of the pan. Fluctuations
in flame size could be caused by pressure
variations, improperly positioned burners,
damage or debris.
Surface Burner Ignition
To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter
clockwise to the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise - the sound of the
electric spark igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the
burner control knob to adjust the desired heat setting.
When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the
burner igniters will spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another
burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base
or igniter while the igniters are sparking.
