BURNERS
SEALED TOP BURNERS (w/ Grates removed)
The Sealed Top Burners must be kept clean. Cleaning of the sealed top burners should include the igniter.
The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat set- tings and there are no fixed positions on the control knobs between HI and LO. To turn the cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclock- wise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting. (This step turns off the igniter and the clicking sound should stop.)
NOTE: The igniter will continue to click as long as a control knob is in the “LITE” position.

CAUTION: When turning on any cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.
