appliance as follows:  
^ Wash the gas burner assembly with a  
mild solution of warm water and  
liquid dish soap.  
The harmless odor will dissipate after a  
short time and does not indicate a  
faulty connection or appliance defect.  
^ Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in  
the proper order (see “Cleaning and  
care”).  
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth  
and dry thoroughly.

This stops the flow of gas and turns off  
the cooktop.  
The ignition process lasts approx.  
8 - 10 seconds. The flame should light  
within 4 seconds. The Fast-Ignition-

The knob must only be turned left to  
turn the appliance on and right to  
turn it off.  
If the burner does not light, repeat the  
process.

Using the cooktop  
Regulating the wok burner  
The inner and outer burners are both  
controlled by one control knob. There is  
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that  
requires you to press the knob down  
while turning it in order to get from the  
high flame to the low flame zone.  
^ To reduce the flames from a high to  
low setting, turn the control knob  
counterclockwise until you feel  
resistance. Press the knob down to  
pass the stop, then release the  
pressure and set the cooktop to the  
desired setting.  
^ To increase the flames from a low to  
high setting, turn the control knob  
clockwise until you reach the stop.  
Press the knob down to pass the  
stop, then release the pressure and  
set the cooktop to the desired  
setting.  
Since the outer portion of the flame is  
much hotter than the center, the flame  
should be set so that it does not spread  
beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips  
which extend beyond the sides of the  
pan are hazardous.

cooktop, the bases do not need to be  
even for good results.  
Thick pan bases will give more even  
results, as hot spots are reduced due to  
better heat distribution.  
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat  
faster but not as evenly as thick pan  
bases. Stir the food frequently to  
prevent burning.  
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will  
heat quicker and cook more evenly  
than narrow / tall ones.  
Wok burners  
– Using oversized pans may cause the  
flames to spread out and damage  
the surrounding countertop or other  
countertop appliances. The proper  
pan size will also improve efficiency.  
You can use a wok on these burners  
without any additional rings, trivets, etc.  
If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra  
stability, attach it as shown (depending  
on your grates).  
– Do not use small pans with high  
flame settings, the flames may climb  
the sides of the pan.  
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the  
pan support and pots that do not sit  
securely (without wobbling) are  
hazardous and should not be used.
