How to Light a Burner

Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. To turn the burner

■ In case of a power failure, you can light the

burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the

burner, then push in and turn the control knob

to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners this way. Burners in use when

an electrical power failure occurs will continue

to operate normally.

■ Do not operate the burner for an extended

period of time without cookware on the grate.

Operating Instructions

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

■Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use.

The finish on the grate may chip without

cookware to absorb the heat.

■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool before

you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning

cloths or other materials on them.

and Cleaning

Never let the flame extend up the sides of the cookware.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flame extend up the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok, available at your local retail store.

Do not use a wok on any other support ring. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
