Surface Burners - GE PGP9830 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Surface Burners
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob down and turn it to the LITE
position.
You will hear a little clicking noise--the sound of the
electric spark igniting the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays
at LITE, it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners
spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner
is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
If the burner has not been used
recently, the flames may make
an excessive noise. This is
normal, and it should dissipate
after 4 to 5 minutes.
Push the control knob down
ond turn it to the LITE position.
Sealed Gas Burners
The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best
simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for
delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to
cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down
to a very low simmer setting.
The other burners are higher powered and will bring
liquids to a boil quicker, especially with the use of a lid.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides 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.

In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface
burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match
to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to
the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
[] Make sure all burner heads, burner caps and grates
are in their proper locations (see Burner Caps, Heads
and Electrodes in the Care and cleaning of the
cooktop section).
After Lighting a Gas Burner
[] Do not operate the burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
[] Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.
