Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
The surface burners on some models are lighted by
electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot
lights with constantly burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners
this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally.
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. Lift the cooktop up or off (see the Cooktop section).
3. Locate the 2 pilot ports and light each of them with
a match.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface
burners on and off are located on
the control panel on the front of
the range. 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.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn
it to LITE (HI on pilot models).
On electric ignition models, you
will hear a little ''clicking''
noise—the sound of the electric
spark igniting the burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.

SURFACE COOKING
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners
spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another burner is on.
An electric shock may result, which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.

controls the rate of gas to
the top burner pilots.

4. If the pilots need adjusting, turn the adjusting screw
located on the pilot filter.
5. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now
ready for use.
6. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to
pictures in the Problem Solver in the back of this
guide. If any flame is unsatisfactory, call for service.
After Lighting a Burner
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
• Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
