Top Burner Operation

OPERATION

Lighting the Top Burners

Your range is equipped with a spark ignition system that is electrically operated. You need only to push in and turn the knob to any position and the burner will light. When you turn the knob, you will hear a distinct clicking noise. After the burner lights, the clicking noise will stop.

Note: when lighting any one burner, all burners will spark, but only the burner that you have selected will light. All models feature "auto-reignition", which means if for any reason the flame goes out, it automatically begins to spark to re-ignite the burner!

See page 22 for manual lighting procedure.

Top Burner Control

Figure 16

For safety reasons, always adjust the burner controls so that flames do not extend beyond the edges of pots, pans or other cooking utensils.

Large pots or other over-sized cooking utensils may cause random sparking from the burner. To avoid this condition lower the flame size or use smaller-sized cooking utensils.

Do not use a griddle directly on top of grates. To avoid random sparking, please use the Aga- Heartland Griddle Pan Kit for Classic Ranges part #7602 (complete with griddle pan support) can be purchased from your dealer or directly from Aga-Heartland.
