Setting Surface
Controls
Typical Knobs
Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing
pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initaly. Refer
to your installation instructions for instructions on lighting the standing
pilot. Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off.
Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob is
turned to the LITE position.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic
ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are
turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the
guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface
Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to
click if left in the LITE position.)
Electric Ignition Models
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit
manualy. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head,
then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually. DO NOT try to light the oven burner
manually.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when
it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood
spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
