Operating The Cooktop; Using The Burners - Summit GCJ1SSLP User Manual

OPERATING THE COOKTOP

Lighting the Burners
A diagram is screened beside each knob on the control panel of your cooktop. This diagram indicates to
which burner the knob in question corresponds. After having opened the gas main or bottled gas tap, light
the burners as described below:
The knobs of the burners are equipped with a safety cut-off device. They must be turned in a counter-
clockwise direction until they reach the full-on position (large flame icon, Fig. 8) and come to a stop. Now
push down on the knob. The burner should ignite in 2 or 3 seconds. Keep the knob depressed as you turn
it toward the reduced rate position (small flame icon, Fig. 8) to adjust the flame. Should the flame
accidentally go out, turn the burner control knob off and wait at least 5 minutes to light it again.
