COOKTOP USE CAP BURNERS Your new professional cooktop is equipped with burners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum cleanability and controllability. The large cap spreads the simmer heat out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the BRASS pan. The simmer flame is always “on” when the burner is in use. The PORT RING burner should never be operated if the cap is not in place. All the cooktop burners have electronic spark ignition to

COOKTOP USE ELECTRONIC IGNITERS IGNITER (KEEP CLEAN) If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not clicking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see page 20, “Before Calling For Service”. To light the burner manually, see page 17, “Power Failure”. NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burn

GRILL USE GRILL The two grill grates are reversible (see Fig. 07). The grill grates are made of durable stainless steel. One side of the grate is ridged (side A) and should be used for foods where you want the fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger patties. The ridges are slopped so the fat runs toward the front of the grill and can easily run down to the cooler area of the drip tray and away from the intense heat of the burner. The other side of the grate (side B) is designed for foods

GRILL USE GRILLING HINTS When grilling, the ventilation fan must be set on “HI” to remove smoke and odors. The fan can be turned to “LO” after cooking is complete to remove any leftover smoke. The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size an
