Pilotless ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the surface
burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.

will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the
same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
