Surface Burners
OPERATION
SURFACE BURNER FLAME SIZE
• When adjusting burner knobs, do so slowly until reaching your preferred flame size.
• When operating your appliance on natural gas, the flame should be steady and the
color should always be blue, though flickers of orange and yellow are acceptable.
• If flames appear orange/yellow and stay that way, check the surrounding area.
Candles, cleaning products, and other changes in atmosphere can affect flame color.
• If flame issues persist, and you had a professional technician conduct a liquid propane
gas conversion procedure, it may not have been performed properly. Check that all
orifices are correctly placed. If not, contact your installer. If using natural gas, contact
your local gas company to check for unforeseen issues.
WARNING
COMBUSTION SAFETY
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to several substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas fuel.
• Properly adjusted burners emitting clean blue flames will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or use of a ventilation fan or range hood above the unit.
WARNING
When using the cooktop for the first time, burners may not ignite right away.
Time is required for gas to fully fill the operating system. In this instance, do not
keep burner knobs pushed in for longer than a few seconds.
POWER FAILURE
• If gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the knob and allow at least five
minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure outlined on page 16.
• If electricity or power fails in your home, surface burners can still be lighted
manually if necessary. Simply hold a lighted match near a burner and turn the knob
counterclockwise to the “HI” setting. After the burner lights, remove the lit match and
turn the knob to the preferred setting.
