Electric Ignition Models

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

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use etireme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on.

An electic shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Standing Pilot Models

The surface burners on these ranges have standing pilots that must be lit initially. To light them:

1.Be sure surface burner control knobs are in the 0~ position.

2.Remove the grates and lift the cooktop up (see the Lift-Up Cooktop section).

3.Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them with a match.

NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.

4.Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now ready for use.

5.Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is unsatisfactory, cdl for service.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control. The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

On ranges with sealed burners:

●The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results.

●The right front burner is higher powered thm the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).
