comes with two different types of burner caps: standard and diffusion (model
dependent). See the sections below for further information on each.
Burner Grates WARNING:
To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps
and all burner grates properly positioned. Do not use a grate if the feet
are missing or damaged.
There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the
right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the
burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the
grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.
Electronic Ignitor The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners. There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and
dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the ignitor clicks.
CAUTION:
All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch
any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
High Power Burner The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the
cooktop. The burner cap retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low
settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle,
more predictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large
amounts of sauces or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large
amounts of water to a boil.
Precision Burner The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for
gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco-
late or to prepare delicate sauces.
Oven Racks Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
tions:
• Two flat racks and one full extension rack
• Two flat racks and one half rack
Flat Oven Racks The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely
out of the oven and not tilt.
