OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
1. Pressinontheknobthatcorrespondstotheburnerthatyouwouldliketolight.Usethefrontpanelgraphictoconrm
your selection until you become familiar with the range. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to the "American Flame" icon
located on the knob – this is the light position of the burner valve.
2. Theigniterforallthesurfaceburnerswillbeginsparking–however,gaswillowtoonlytheselectedburner.
3. Aftertheburnerlights,theigniterclickingwillstop–indicatingthattheamesensingandre-ignitionsystemisactiveonthe
selected burner.
4. RotatetheknobtoanyamesettingthatyoudesirebetweenMAXandSIMMER.Thebluepanellightwillremainlituntil
the valve is returned to the OFF position.
The surface burners are rated at different power levels:
When you are using the surface burners, select the burner power and location depending on the heating or cooking function you
would like to perform.
Anormalameisblueincolorandsteady.Foreignmaterialsinthekitchenairorthegasline,especiallyinnewconstruction
installations, may cause some orange color bursts during initial operation. This will disappear with continued use. Small yellow tips
ontheendsofamesarenormalwhenusingLPgas.
Iftheameslookodd,(toosmall,toolarge,lazyordrifting,unevenaroundtheburnercircle,etc.),checktoseethattheburnerhead
is seated correctly on the burner base. Do this when the burner is cold by gently rocking the burner head or rotating the head from
side to side. If it is correctly seated, it will nest in detents, in the case of the sealed burners, or on the corresponding pin/hole for
open burners. If this does not correct the problem, turn to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
AUTO RE-IGNITION
Thesurfaceburnersareequippedwithaspecialignitionandre-ignitionsystemthatsensesthepresenceofameandre-ignitesthe
burnershouldtheamedisappearwhilegasisstillowingtotheburner.
Strongdrafts,spillsandgeneralgrimeinuencetheoperationoftheautomaticre-ignitionsystem–acleansystemwillgenerally
function better than a dirty system. Periodically, remove any materials or grime that might build up on the high voltage spark
electrode – using a toothbrush or other non-metallic cleaning utensil.
BEFORE USING THE NEW COOK TOP
• Beforeusingthecooktopforthersttime,washtheoutsideareawithsoapandwatertoremoveanyshipping&factory
residue.
• The burner grates are designed in sections and are easy to remove and clean. They are made of cast iron with a porcelain
coating and will remain hot after the burner is turned off creating a residual heat for continued cooking. Use
caution when handling.
• Your new professional Range is equipped with burners that are similar to those used in restaurants.
The burner heads are large and designed to ensure even heat distribution for better cooking. They must be in place and
properly seated before lighting.
• The Range must not be operated without the burner heads.
• Therearenocontinuouslyburningpilotlights.Anelectronicsparkignitionsystemisusedtolighttheburner.Iftheame
should go out from a boil-over or a strong draft, the burner will automatically re-ignite.
