Installation Instructions

Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.

On models so equipped, check to be sure the cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.

APush and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. All spark igniters will make a series of sparks (ticking sounds), but only the burner turned to LITE will light.

•Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position.

BTry each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

On models so equipped, check to be sure the cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.

ALight a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.

BPush in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.

Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The flame should be no less than 1/4″ on the lowest setting and no greater than 1-1/2″on highest setting.

Burners should be checked frequently

WARNING: If you attempt to measure the flame, please use caution. Burns could result.

The three cooktop grates are designed for specific positions. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position: they should not be interchanged. For your convenience, the undersides of the left and right grates are marked “OUTSIDE” and “INSIDE”. Make sure that the side marked “OUTSIDE” is on the outer edge of your cooktop. Make sure that the tabs on either side of the center grate fit into the slots located on the “INSIDE” edge of the side grates.
