Lighting Burners
All
burners are ignited by electric ignition. There
are no open-flame, "standing" pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition
To light the surface burners, push and turn the
appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any
position. This control is
both
a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners
will ignite at any "ON" position with -_he automatic re-ignition system, if
the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite
if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners,
the electric igniters star_ sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear
a "clicking" sound, if you do not, turn off the control and check that the
unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or
tripped.
Within afew moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to
ight. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to
adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired
cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in
superior cooking oerformance, while also saving time and energy.
Vari-Sirnmer
TM
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot
liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering
ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening
and/or breaking up The size of the pan and the volume of
food
can have
a significant effect on how high or low a flame is qeeded for simmerinc
Forthis reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a
Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer
setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. This variable
-ange of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve
the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of
food
being
simmered It is this ability that makes the Vari-Simmer setting the most
accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.
Power Plus
TM
Burner (where applicable)
Certain model ranges are equipped with a Power Plus 18,500 BTU burner
in the front right burner position. This burner is designed to provide extra
high heat output, especially when using large pans, and should be used
for boiling large quantities or if you need to bring something to a boild
quickly. While Power Plus burner has the extra power needed to bring
arge quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, it is also able to be turned
down low enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this
burner the most versatile burner on the market
