Operation of electric igniters should be checked after cooktop and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to electric power.

To operate the surface burner:

A.Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE position. You will hear a little ticking noise; this is the sound of the electric ignitor which lights the burner.

B.After the burner lights, turn to the desired flame size. The controls do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the flame as needed.

4.Adjust the "LO" or "SIMMER" Setting of Surface Burner Valves (see Figure 11)

Push in and turn each control knob to the "LO" (or "SIMMER") setting. The "LO" setting of each burner has been set at the factory to the lowest setting available to provide reliable reignition of the burner. If it does not stay lit on the "LO" setting, check the setting as follows.

A.Allow cooktop to cool to room temperature.

B.Light all burners by turning each control knob to LITE until burners ignite, and then set them at "HI".

C.Quickly turn the knob to the LOWEST POSITION.

D.If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows: Remove the surface burner control knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from HI to LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.

E.If you need to adjust another burner, repeat the steps from A to D above until all burners operate properly.

When All Hookups are Complete

Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located on the underside of the cooktop.

When ordering parts for or making inquires about your range, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate of your cooktop.

Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners, the type of fuel and the pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the factory.
