Eliminate the draft or reduce the ventilation blower speed in this case. • When the cooktop is cool and/or more than two burners are in use, the ignitors may continue to spark if the control knob is set to the “LOW” position. This is normal until the burner warms up.
Operation SETTING THE BURNER FLAME HEIGHT Setting the proper burner flame height for the desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy. Follow these recommendations for best results: Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron cooking vessels.

IMPOR • To keep the cooktop looking its best, clean it after every use as soon as all components are cool enough to safely touch. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking, being careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner components will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on.

Treating the porcelain components with care will slow the natural deterioration that takes place with cooktop use. Please follow these guidelines to keep the porcelain parts looking their best: Do not use utensils having rough bottoms, as this can result in permanent damage to the top surfaces of the porcelainized grates.
IMPOR Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board. Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on the cooktop. Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the cooktop.
