USING YOUR COOKTOP
Electric Ignition
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning flames.
The igniters make clicking sounds and spark even
when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not
touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface
burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the HIGH
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

To Light a Burner
Push the control knob
in and turn it
counterclockwise to
desired position from
HIGH to LOW.
After the burner
ignites, turn the knob
in either direction to
adjust the flame size.
To turn a burner
off, turn the knob
clockwise, as far
as it will go, to the
OFF position.
• The center and two rear burners are best for smaller
pans and cooking operations requiring carefully
controlled simmering conditions. The two front
burners are the high power burners for larger pans
and fast boiling operations.
• 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.
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER
LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF
THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom
of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat
the handle.
Auto Relight
The burners on this cooktop relight automatically if the flame goes out.
This helps prevent the inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner.
As with electric ignition, all of the burner igniters spark while a burner is
relighting. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.
