GC36 GC912 & GC912M Adjusting the flame The flame adjusts anywhere between the Hi and Lo symbol. Do not regulate the flame between High and Off. Temperature control Your cooktop offers a wide range of temperature settings from delicate slow cooking to the intense high temperatures needed for boiling and searing. As the control knob is turned clockwise, the heat is increased. For general cooking purposes turn the control knob to the Hi setting to begin cooking or bring food to the boil and adjust as necessary. Once your pan is hot, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food through. This will reduce cooking times. Results will vary depending on the type of pans used and the quantities being cooked. You will need to experiment with the temperature settings to match your desired cooking result. Different types of cooking utensils will vary in efficiency. Auto re-ignition Auto Re-ignition is for your convenience and safety. The auto re-ignition feature causes the igniters to spark automatically if a flame blows out or if the flame is severely distorted by a draft or a cooktop ventilation system. Constant sparking The igniters must be kept clean and dry to work correctly. Dirty or wet igniters could cause constant sparking, even if a flame is present. (See trouble shooting guide). Igniters can be kept clean with a small brush. Allow at least two minutes US Correct Assembly Incorrect Assembly Power failure In the event of a power failure, turn all burner control knobs to Off. The burners can be lit by holding a lighted match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to Hi. Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner cap before adjusting. 7 Cookware Never use plastic or aluminum foil dishes on the burners. Using a wok The maximum recommended wok size for these cooktops is 18”. Care needs to be taken when using a wok approaching this size that other pots are not pushed sideways enough to become unstable or deflect heat onto nearby walls or the counter top. Using the simmermat (GC912M only) The Simmermat helps you control the temperature of your cooking surface to ensure the long slow simmering that is needed for successfully cooking delicate foods. Use at low heat only. To use the simmermat 1 First cook the food, or bring to the boil, over high heat. 2 Turn the burner off and carefully place the Simmermat on the grate with the points facing upward. Re-ignite the burner, turn to Lo and place your saucepan on top of the simmermat. Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious damage to your cooktop. WARNING! WARNING! Hot Surface Hazard Do not attempt to handle the grates while they are hot. Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds. Simmermat WARNING! Hot Surface Hazard Always turn the burner off before moving the simmermat and handle the hot simmermat with a pot holder. Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds. Using saucepans Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the countertop as this can deflect heat and damage the countertop surface. Hold the handle of the saucepan to prevent movement of cookware when stirring. Saucepans should have a thick flat base. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take longer to cook. Extremely heavy saucepans may bend the grate or deflect the flame. Match the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone and be sure that they are stable. This will give you the most efficient cooking. US Using the skillet/griddle (GC912M only) Your griddle will offer you a quick, hot method of cooking ideal for pancakes, vegetables and eggs. Always use medium to high temperatures and heat the griddle well before cooking on it. Oil the food lightly prior to cooking, not the griddle, to avoid splattering and smoking. Important! Prolonged cooking may damage the griddle and the Skillet/griddle cooktop, which could lead to control and wiring damage. Seasoning Skillet/griddle before first use Your new griddle comes with a finish which is intended to burn off with seasoning. The seasoning process will naturally blacken the griddle. Wash your griddle thoroughly in warm water with detergent. Use a scouring pad to remove any residue that might be on the griddle. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Coat the griddle, including handles, liberally with vegetable oil and place in oven at 300°F/150°C for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wipe excess oil from griddle with a paper towel. Cleaning your skillet/griddle Place in hot water with a small amount of detergent while still warm. If there is food residue left on the griddle, scrub with a wire barbecue brush or scouring pad to remove it. Make sure that the griddle is completely dry before storing. This may be helped by warming the griddle on a burner. 9 Care and cleaning Use soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Clean the cooktop regularly, ...
