SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP
AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION
If any one or more burners or grill
blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically sparks to re-light
the flame. Do not touch the
burners when the igniters are
sparking.
IMPORTANT:
• For proper combustion do not
use the cooktop without the
burner grates in place.
• There is a slight sound
associated
with
combustion and ignition. This
is a normal condition.
• On cooktops using propane
gas (LP), a slight "pop" sound
may be heard at the burner
ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off.

only the standard burners can
be manually lit. It is necessary
to light each one individually.
• If the cooktop is being used
when the power failure occurs,
turn all knobs to the OFF
position.
• The standard burners can be
lighted by holding a match at
the ports and turning the
control knob to the HI position.

precautions listed inside the
