SURFACE COOKING
Surface Controls
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the
surface burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
• The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from
the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light.
Important: Each surface burner is equipped to provide
automatic reignition if the flame should somehow get
blown out.
Operating During a
Power Failure
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat
settings is available from Low to High. At the High setting a
detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or
between any of the settings.
Graphics next to the knob identify which burner
the knob controls. For example, the graphic at left
shows the right front burner location.
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation and
the burner does not reignite itself, turn the burner off. If a
strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five
minutes before relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
CAUTION
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the knob on.
