Using your cooktop
Lighting the cooktop
1Choose the control knob for the burner you want to use.
2 Press the knob down gently and turn it anticlockwise to the High position. The electrodes on all the burners will spark.
Flame failure models only: Hold down the knob for approximately five seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame.
3 Adjust the flame anywhere between the High and Low positions. Do not adjust the flame between High and Off O.
Note:
If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control knob off and wait at least one minute before trying again.
