SURFACE BURNERS

(on some models)

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilots with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then turn the control knob to the high position. Use extreme caution when lighting the burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE DO NOT USE THE GRILL. THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.

To Light a Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE. You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the electric ignition spark that lights the burner.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

•Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

•Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use.

•Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

•When using the surface burners, if you find that the LO setting is too hot for delicate foods, you can adjust the knob below the LO setting.

•Only surface burners may be used on the right side.

•Do not allow large pans to extend over the control knobs. Heat trapped between large pans and control knobs could cause possible damage to the control knobs.
