Operation - Cooktop

This section explains how to operate the cooktop. See
"Cooktop Cooking Guide" on page 22 for guidelines to
improve cooktop results.

About the Cooktop

Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as
boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.
9 WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, while the self-clean
cycle is operating, the cooktop will not operate.
When using the cooktop and the oven is set to self-clean,
"Turn Off Cooktop" is shown in the display. The self-clean
cycle does not come on. Turn off the cooktop to use self-
clean.
The cooktop cannot be used when self-clean is running in
the oven.
9 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene and
Formaldehyde. To minimize exposure to these
substances, the burners should be adjusted by a
certified installer or agency 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.
The cooktop has one control knob for each burner. Push
down and turn to the desired heat setting.
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.

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.
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 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate
before making adjustments.
Figure 3: Checking Flame Characteristics
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, see "Self Help" on page 38.
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.
