Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the

Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate
is vacant.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LIGHT will produce a flame.

3. Alignment pins
4. Ignitor
5. Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
"General Cleaning" section.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of
soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any
other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from
spillovers by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
