knobs
The control knobs are in front of the burner,
grille or griddle they control. The oven and
griddle controls are placed slightly lower than the
surface burner control knobs.
The surface burners have an infinite number of
heat settings as there are no fixed positions
between HI and LO.
To turn ON a surface burner, push the control
in, then turn it counterclockwise to the LITE
position.
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
You will hear the ignitor click. When the gas is
ignited all around the burner and into the
central simmer burner below the simmer cap,
turn the knob back to the desired setting.
When using the simmer burner, always ensure
that it lights from the main burner.
Burners
Your new professional gas range is equipped
with burners typical of those used in restaurants.
These burners are designed in two pieces for
easy cleaning and control.
The center, smaller cap covers and protects the
simmer burner from boilovers that could put the
flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer
burner heat out to avoid too much heat being
concentrated on the center of the pan.
The simmer burner is always on when the burner
is in use. The burner should never be operated
if the simmer cap is not in place.
The outer cap/port ring constitute the main
burner and are in operation between the HI
and LO settings.
The burners have electronic spark ignition to
eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the
outer cap/port ring is on and the flame is blown
out, it will relight. The burners are rated at
15,000 BTU around the outer cap/port ring.
When turned to the simmer setting, only the
center of the burner is lit, and it is rated at
500 BTU.
