BURNER IGNITION

Cooktop Spark Ignition – When you turn
the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner. During a
power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop
burner may be lit with a match by following
the steps below.
WARNING:
with a match is dangerous. You should match
light the cooktop burners only in an
emergency.
a. Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.
Be sure you are turning the correct knob
for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within
five seconds, turn the knob off and wait five
minutes before trying again.
