Reflection Plate

Observation Hole

The hole in the griddle cover should be toward the backguard.

Make sure to locate the griddle observation hole toward the front of the range to observe the burner flame.

Do not use the griddle cover over a lit burner or for cooking. This may damage the cover.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor. Electric ignitors light automatically each time a Surface 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 control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitors will continue to click if one Surface Control knob is left in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. 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 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.

Griddle (some models)

Your non-stick griddle must first be "conditioned" to insure non-stick cooking. Remove the enamel griddle cover. Wipe a teaspoon of vegetable oil over the surface before using the griddle for the first time.

Do not overheat the griddle as this will cause permanent staining of the non-stick coating. You can protect the non-stick coating by keeping the enamel cover over the griddle when not in use.

The griddle is intended for direct food cooking. Do not use pans or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. After turning on the griddle burner, you can check to see if it is ignited by looking at the griddle burner flame reflection plate through the observation hole. See diagram of Griddle Burner at left.

5th Burner (some models)

The 5th burner pan, chrome bowl insert and a burner grate can be used in place of the griddle. To use the griddle area for a 5th burner, remove the griddle and place the 5th burner pan over the burner. Then place the bowl insert and the burner grate in the proper position. Operate the 5th burner with the griddle control knob.
