Installation Instructions
[2] CHECK IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be checked
after the cooktop and supply line have been
carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has
been connected to the electrical power.
On models so equipped, check to be sure the
cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.
Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE
position. All spark igniters will make a series of
sparks (ticking sounds), but only the burner
turned to LITE will light.
e The burner should light when gas is
available to the burner.
e Once the burner lights, it should be turned
out of the LITE position.
Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked.
[3] 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.
AWARNING: Lighting gas burners with a
match is dangerous. You should match light the
cooktop burners only in an emergency.
On models so equipped, check to be sure the
cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.
Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
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 one minute before trying
again.

[5] BURNER GRATES
The cooktop grates are designed for specific
positions. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position: they
should not be interchanged. For your convenience,
the undersides of the left and right grates are
marked "OUTSIDE" and "INSIDE". Make sure that the
side marked "OUTSIDE" is on the outer edge of your
cooktop.
