Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
The surface burners
on these ranges have
standing pilots that
must be lit initially.
To light them:
1. Be sure surface
burner control
knobs are in the
OFF position.
2. Remove the grates and lift the cooktop up
(see the Lift-Up Cooktop section).
Surface Burner Controls
Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control. The two
knobs on the left control the left front and left rear
burners. The two knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
Before Lighting a Burner
If drip pans are supplied with your range, they
should be used at all times.
To Light a Surface Burner
Electric Ignition Models:
turn it to LITE. You will hear
a little "clicking" noise—the
sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner.

3. Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them
with a match.
NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust
it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If
Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.
4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now
ready for use.
5. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to
pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is
unsatisfactory, call for service.
On ranges with sealed burners:
The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or
foods which need to cook over low heat for a
long time. It can be turned down to a very low
simmer setting.
The right front burner is higher powered than the
others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
Make sure all the grates on the range are in place
before using any burner.
Standing Pilot Models:
Push control knob in and turn
The burner should light within a few seconds.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift
slightly away from the burner when the burner
is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may
be heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is
due to improved injection of gas and air into the
burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it,
or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it
lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be
much less noticeable.
