Instructions

Using the gas surface burners.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Instructions Safety

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, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM

IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

Cleaning Operating

Push the control knob down and turn it to the LITE position.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting 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.

If the flame is too low at the setting, the valve can be adjusted. Refer to Flames too

high or too low at the LOW setting in the Troubleshooting Tips section.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
