Before using the cooktop Cleaning the cooktop Before using for the first time clean the appliance as follows: ^ Wash the removable parts of the gas burner in a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. ^ Wipe dry and reassemble them in the proper order (see the "Cleaning and Care" section). ^ Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. 10 Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.
Using the cooktop Turning on and off The control knobs are used to turn the burners on and regulate the strength of the flames. Since the outer portion of the flame is much hotter than the center, the flame should be set so that its tips do not extend beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan are hazardous. Turning off ^ Turn the knob clockwise to "Off".
Using the cooktop Pan size Suitable pans – Set the cooktop to a high flame when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using a small diameter pan. Any heat resistant pan can be used on a gas burner. Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results. Thick pan bases will give more even results, hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution. – Generally, wide / shallow pans will heat up quicker and cook more evenly than narrow / tall ones.
Using the cooktop Safety feature This gas cooktop incorporates an Ignition Safety Control which stops the supply of gas if the flame goes out. ^ To reignite the burners, turn the control knob clockwise to "Off", then follow the procedures outlined in "Turning on and off". This safety feature is not operated by electricity, it will be active even if the appliance is in use during a power failure.
Cleaning and Care Cooktop Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the frame and the countertop. Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents, or strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could damage the surface of the appliance.
Cleaning and Care Burners Reassembling the burner The burners can be dismantled and cleaned when cool. Dismantling and cleaning ^ Remove the burner parts and wash them in a solution of hot water and liquid dish soap. ^ Dry them thoroughly. Make sure that the flame holes are clean and completely dry. The shiny surfaces of the burner caps will dull with time and usage. This is normal and will not affect the operation of the cooktop.
