3. Place the lined part of outer burner cap to fit in the lined part of the burner head. Shake the outer burner cap gently to check if it is firmly seated (you will be able to rotate the outer burner cap, but it should be firmly seated in the burner head.)
4. Next, place the inner burner cap on the burner head and make sure it is firmly set by gently sliding it from side to side.
5. Check if the burner head/burner cap is firmly seated. If the burner head/cap is not level or is unstable, you must take it off, and reinsert it again.

Using the cooktop

Grates Installation

WARNING Do not try to remove the grate until the cooking grates and cooktop surface have completely cooled down.

The three cooktop grates are designed to fit in specific positions on the cooktop. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.

To properly setup your cooking grates, please follow these steps:

1. Take out the three grates and find the center grate first. Note, the left and right grids are exactly the same.
2. Gently lower the legs of the center grate so they rest in the center grate dimples of the cooktop.
3. Take the other two grates and make sure the thicker sides of the grates face the outer left and right sides of the cooktop.
4. Gently lower the legs of the grates into the dimples of the cooktop. When properly installed, neither grate will make contact with the overhangs of the center grate.

Wok Grate & Tea Kettle Grate
Woks are often used for stir-frying and pan frying. To use a Wok, you need to attach the Wok Grate so your Wok will sit on the burner properly and safely.The tea kettle grate is usually used for small pans smaller than 6in.

1. the wok grate and the tea kettle grate can only be placed on the versatile tri-Ring burner cook­ing grate,or the rapid burner cooking grate
2. Do not use both the wok grate and the tea kettle grate on the same burner.

• Fast Ignition
  Take note which knob controls which burner. This appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob downward and turn it counterclockwise to HI until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and wait for 60 seconds before attempting to light it again. This cooktop has a fast ignition device. When the knob is released, the solenoid valve will not cut off power immediately. It will still maintain continuous current to provide energy to the ignition needle. Therefore, the igniter will continue to maintain the ignition state for 1 to 3 seconds, which provides better ignition rate.

• In Case of a Power Failure
  In the event of a power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Using extreme caution. hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then push the knob in and slowly turn it counterclockwise. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.

• Flame Failure Device
  If the flame goes out accidentally a safety device will be activated about 60 seconds later and automatically cut off the gas supply to the cooktop even if the burner knob is still on. If this happens, turn the burner knob to the OFF position, wait 60 seconds, and then try to relight the burner.

Cookware size limitation
Please choose the proper Pan before cooking:

1. Please make sure the diameter of the pan used is equal or more in size to the cooking gratesner.
2. Try to avoid rubbing or banging the cooktop on the cooking grate to protect the cast iron grate.
3. A Wok can be used on the Tri-Ring Burner or the Rapid Burner. Before using your wok, please placed the Wok grate onto burner cooking grate.

Always make sure your pot handles are turned facing you or to the side when using your cook­top. Make sure you do not have a pot handle over a hot burner. This will minimize the chance of having any accidents or personal injury.
