Standing Pilot Models; Surface Burner Controls; Electric Ignition - GE JGBS02EM Use And Care & Installation Manual

Electric Ignition Models
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly 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 etireme caution when lighting burners
this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Standing Pilot Models

The surface burners on these ranges have standing
pilots that must be lit initially. To light them:
1. Be sure surface burner control knobs are in
the 0~ position.
2. Remove the grates and lift the cooktop up
(see the Lift-Up Cooktop section).

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control. The two
knobs on the left control the left front and left rear
burners. The two knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
3. Locate the two pilot
ports and light each
of them with a match.
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 on.
An electic shock may result, which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.
NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can
adjust it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots
If Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.
4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now
ready for use.
5. Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames
to pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame
is unsatisfactory, cdl for service.
On ranges with sealed burners:
The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results.
The right front burner is higher powered thm the
others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
