Igniting Burners:
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners
■
when control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on
■
the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware
or without any cookware on the grate.
Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not
■
ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the
igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown fuse.

FEATURES
This burner has an upper
and lower level of flame.
The Power HI setting
uses both flame levels at
full power to provide the
highest heat. It is ideal for
cooking large quantities
of food or liquid, and
using large pots and pans.
The Simmer HI and LO
settings use the upper
flame only.
This burner is ideal for
cooking smaller quantities
of food and melting
chocolate or butter.
This burner reaches
a low of 500 BTU/Hr. It
provides the gentle, low
temperatures required
for simmering soups,
stewing, and melting
delicate ingredients
like butter, cheese,
and chocolate.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on
■
the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call
a trained repair specialist.
When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are
■
turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will
click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to
the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the
other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Reignition Feature
During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished
due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind, or ventilation
draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame.
When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking.
If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may
continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the
low setting on a burner.
To Set a Burner:
1.
Push in and turn
counterclockwise to LITE.
Push in one more time to get from LO to HI.
In Case of Power Failure
Hold a lit match near a
burner, and turn knob
counterclockwise to
HI. After burner lights,
turn knob to the desired
setting.
2.
Turn knob counterclockwise
between HI and LO.
