USING YOUR COOKTOP
Surface Controls
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An
infinite choice of heat settings is available
from LOW to HIGH.
Setting the Controls
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners
with automatic re-ignition. If the burner flame should go out,
the system will automatically spark to re-ignite the burner.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate
finish, do not operate the burners without a pan on the
grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately counterclockwise to
the desired setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected
burner will light.)

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.
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, 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 to the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the cooktop.
• 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.
Operating During a Power Failure
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the desired setting.
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.
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking
during a power failure. The automatic re-ignition feature
will not operate during a power failure.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
SETTINGS USES
Use HIGH to bring liquid to a boil, or
reach pressure in a pressure cooker.
Always reduce setting to a lower heat
when liquids begin to boil or foods begin
to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to
continue cooking. Food will not cook any
faster when a higher flame setting is
used than needed to maintain a gentle
boil. Water boils at the same tempera-
ture whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Use LOW to simmer foods, keep foods
warm and melt chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the
LOW setting if the pan is covered. It is
possible to reduce the heat by rotating
the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is
stable.
