Using the burners

1Choose the control knob for the burner you want to use.

2 Press the knob down gently and turn it counterclockwise to the HI position. The ignitors on all the burners will spark.

Hold down the knob for approximately 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the

knob too soon will extinguish the flame.

3Adjust the flame anywhere between the HI and LO positions. Do not adjust the flame between HI and OFF.

Note: if the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control knob off and wait at

least one minute before trying again.

4After use, always turn the knobs to the OFF position and close the gas shut-off valve on the main gas supply line.

Your cooktop has a flame failure safety device; each burner is equipped with a flame failure probe as well as the ignitor (see Fig. 25).

The flame failure probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out. If this happens, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
