CONTROL TEST
Check to see that all controls are in the off position.
Turn controls on to check unit operation.
Turn controls off after checking operation.

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs that control the valves. Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the following functions:

When the knob is rotated to the maximum position it will permit the rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum position allows the simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.

To reduce the gas flow to a minimum, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise to point to the Lo Position.

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the HI and Lo positions, and never between the HI and OFF positions.

When the cooktop is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions.

Burner Ignition

• Any film or stickers on the cooktop surface must be removed before use.

• All operations are performed by means of all control knobs.
  Knob controls electric ignition, safety device & flame level.

• To ignite, push and turn the knob for 1-2 seconds in a counterclockwise direction up to the HI position (Maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit.
  The sparks produced by the internal igniter will light the designated burner.

During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically.
In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below.
WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency. On models so equipped, check to be sure the cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.

1. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.

• The burner flames
  Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The buner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The flame should be no less than 1/4″ on the lowest setting and no greater than 1-1 /2″ on the highest setting.
  WARNING: If you attempt to measure the flame, please use caution. Burns could result.
  

• In the event that the local gas supply conditions mark it difficult to light the burner in the HI position, try again with the knob in the Lo position.

• To re-light, the burner, return the knob to the OFF position and repeat the operation for light.

• To shut off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction, to the OFF position.

INSTALL BURNER HEADS
For greater efficiency and lesser gas consumption, use the pots and pans with the right diameter for the burners. Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans (refer to the table). A smaller diameter pot or pan placed on a larger burner does not necessarily mean that the boiling conditions are reached quicker.

Table of recommended pans

Burner| d Pan diameter in cm
Auxiliary| from dia. 8 to dia. 14
Semi rapid| from dia. 14 to dia. 20
Rapid| from dia. 20 to dia. 28
Tripling| Above dia. 26

How to Select the flame size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
