Lighting instructions for
Electric Ignition Models
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with con-
stantly burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting burn-
ers this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail-
ure occurs will continue to operate normally,
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed..
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners
spark° Do not attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another burner is ono An
electric shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Before Lighting a Burner
o If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should
be used at all times.
° Make sure all grates on the range are in place before
using a burner.
To Light a Surface Burner
Electric ignition Models
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. You will hear a little
"clicking" noise--the sound of the
electric spark igniting the burner..
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size,
Standing Pilot Model:
Push control knob in and turn it to H1 position. The
burner should light within a few seconds.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size_
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on, A blowing sound may be heard the first
few seconds. This normal sound is due to improved
injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on
the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to
match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing
sound will stop.
