Before
using your
gas burners The ZGW124 and ZGW125 gas cooktops are not
convertible to LP gas. They are designed to operate
on natural gas only.
This component has one large 10,500-BTU
burner and one smaller 6,000-BTU burner.
When a downdraft vent is used next to a gas
component, food will cook faster if you use a
low vent setting and keep the pan covered (if
recipe allows).
Automatic
ignition Both burners on this gas cooktop component
are lighted by electric ignition that eliminates
the need for standing pilot lights. All the igniters make sparking sounds and
spark even when only a single burner is being
turned on. Do not touch any of the burners
when the igniters are sparking.
Auto relight The burners on this gas cooktop automatically
relight if the flame goes out. This helps prevent
the inconvenience of manually having to
relight a burner. As with automatic ignition, all
of the burner igniters spark while a burner is
relighting. Do not touch any of the burners
when the igniters are sparking. The burners will relight at any setting.
However, for the burners to light quickly and
consistently when the gas is turned on, the
knobs should be turned to the LITE position
until ignition occurs.
Power
outage
In case of a power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Holding a lighted match to the burner, turn
the knob to the LO position.
If the knob setting is toward HI, the flame
flare-up could burn your hand. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners manually.
Cookware should not be in place over the
burner when lighting a burner this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
