Using the surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
The surface burners on some models 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 extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure 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 on.An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
The surface burners on these ranges have
standing pilots that must be lit initially.
To light them:
Be sure surface burner control
knobs are in the OFF position.
Lift the cooktop up and prop it
open with the prop rod provided
(see the Care and cleaning of the
range section).
Locate the 2 pilot ports and light
each of them with a match.
If the pilots need adjusting, use a
small flat-bladed screwdriver to
turn the adjusting screw (accessed
through a hole in the front right
side of the burner box).
Lower the cooktop. Your surface
burners are now ready for use.
Observe lighted burners. Compare
the flames to pictures in the Before
you call for service section. If any
flame is unsatisfactory, call for
service.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and
off are located on the control panel on the front
of the range. 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.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it
to LITE (HI on pilot models). On
electric ignition models, 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.
After Lighting a Burner
■ Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is the one you want to use.
■ Do not operate a burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on
the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand, a
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.
