Operation of Graduated Hot-Top Section
Each 32"-wide section has one control knob, which can be
turned to OFF or to any position in the range from LOW to
HIGH. When the control is set to HIGH, the round center
section will heat to about 725°F (385°C), the ring-shaped
section will heat to about 625°F (330°C), and the outer areas
will heat to about 500°F (260°C).
To start cooking, turn the control knob to HIGH. Visually
check that the burner ignites. The gas does NOT
automatically shut off if the burner does not ignite! If the
burner does not ignite, check and/or light the pilots (see
procedure at right). When the burner is hot, the burner flame
should appear blue and steady (some slight yellowing of the
flame tips may occur when using propane gas).
Do not waste gas and abuse equipment by leaving the
control on HIGH all the time. During idling periods, turn the
control to LOW to keep the top warm.
When done cooking, turn the control knob to OFF. (The pilot
should remain lit).
Each 32"-wide section has one burner. The pilot is located
adjacent to the burner. To light the pilot, do the following:
1. Check that the control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Lift out the round center plate in order to expose the pilot.
3. Check that the pilot is in the correct position.
4. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not
already on).
5. Light the pilot with a match or a pilot-lighting device. The
pilot flame should be blue and steady.
