Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models

The surface burners on these ranges have standing pilots that must be lit initially. To light them:

1.Be sure surface burner control knobs are in the OFF position.

2.Remove the grates and lift the cooktop up (see the Lift-Up Cooktop section).

3.Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them with a match.

NOTE: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it. See the Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots If Necessary section of the Installation Instructions.

4.Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now ready for use.

5.Observe lighted burners. Compare the flames to pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is unsatisfactory, call for service. -

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control. The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

On ranges with sealed burners:

●The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.

●The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

Before Lighting a Burner

●If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at all times.

●Make sure all the grates on the range are in place before using any burner.
