Lighting Instructions for
Electronic Ignition Models
Your surface burners are lighted by electronic 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 failt, re
occurs will continue to operate normally.,
The electrode of the spark igniter is expose& 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.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control.
The two knobs on the left control the left front and
left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control

performance for delicate foods, such as sauces
or foods which need to cook over low heat for a

simmer setting,.
The right front burner is higher powered than
the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
On some models, the burners are all the same
size and power.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first turned
on. A blowing sound may be heard the first few
seconds. This normal sound is due to improved injection
