Instructions

Using the cooktop burners.

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

Operating Instructions Safety

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

How to Light a Burner

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

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

■In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

■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.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

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.
