To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your cooktop properly. This
section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your cooktop.
Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with electric
ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light
the burners each time the control knob is
turned to LITE.
Push In control knob and turn to the
LITE position. The clicking sound is the
ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner
has Ilt.
After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting. You can set the
control knob anywhere between the high
and low settings.
NOTE: Your cooktop is factory-set for use
with Natural Gas. Do not use L.P./Propane
Gas. If you wish to convert your cooktop to
use L.P./Propane Gas, order Kit No. 4173631
from your local retailer or an authorized
Whirlpool service company.
