Page 13: Operating Your Cooktop
OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP BEFORE USING YOUR NEW COOKTOP • Before using the cooktop for the first time, wash the outside area with soap and water to remove any shipping & factory residue. • The burner grates are designed in sections and are easy to remove and clean. They are made of cast iron with a porcelain coating and will remain hot after the burner is turned-off creating a residual heat for continued cooking. - Page 14 OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP AUTO RE-IGNITION The surface burners are equipped with a special ignition and re-ignition system that senses the presence of flame and re-ignites the burner should the flame disappear while gas is still flowing to the burner. Strong drafts, spills and general grime influence the operation of the automatic re-ignition system – A CLEAN SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION BETTER THAN A DIRTY SYSTEM.
