Surface Operation

Lighting Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, "standing" pilots.

Surface Burners-Automatic Re-ignition

To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any
position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any "ON" position
with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically
reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all
surface igniters you should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in
and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control
to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the
correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.
