SURFACE COOKING

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners in this manner.

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

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the lower control panel in front of the burners.

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.
