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.

Flame-SensingTMRe-Ignition

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with Flame-SensingTMRe-Ignition. If any burner flame should go out, the system will automatically spark to re-ignite the burner (all ignitors will spark when any flame is extinguished, however only the selected burner will reignite).

If intermittent sparking occurs, increase flame (rotate knob clockwise) until clicking (spark) sound ceases.

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.

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.
