Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Do not operate with a yellow flame.
Doing so can result in death,
heart attack, or convulsions.
How to use the surface burners:
_,? o o
1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing
into the burner. When you hear a clicking
sound, you know that the ignitors are
working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is
not set at OFF.
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See
guide under "Burner heat settings" on
page 14.) You can turn the knobs to any
of the marked settings. The ignitor will
turn off and the clicking will stop when the
burner ignites.
NOTES:
• The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
• All four burner ignitors will spark regard=
less of which burner you are using.
• Visually check that the burner has lit. If
the burner does not ignite, listen for the
clicking sound. If you do not hear the
ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF.
Check that the service cord is placed
firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on valve shaft. If the spark
ignitor still fails to operate, call your
nearest authorized KitchenAid servicer.
Proper grounding and polarity are neces-
sary for correct operation of the electric
ignition system. If the wall receptacle does
not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will
become grounded and click every once in
a while, even after the burner has ignited.
A qualified electrician should check the
wall receptacle to see if it is wired with
correct polarity.
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done
cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death,
fire, or burns.
Burner heat seffings
Use correct burner heat settings (see
page 14). If the heat setting is too high, it can:
• Char bacon and cause curling.
• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.
• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
• Cause a boilover.
