Surface Operation

Lighting Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-fl ame, "standing" pilots.

Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition

To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any
position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any "ON" position
with the automatic re-ignition system. If the fl ame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically
reignite if the gas is still fl owing. When gas is permitted to fl ow to the burners, the electric igniters start
sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn off the control and
check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to
any position to adjust the fl ame size. Setting the proper fl ame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the correct
cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.
