Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors
in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop
control knob is turned to the "LITE" position, the
system creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues as long as the control knob is
turned to "LITE".
When the oven control is turned to the desired

ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow
bar remains on while the burners operate.
