USING YOUR COOKTOP

Electric Ignition

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

The igniters make clicking sounds and spark even when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.

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

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

To Light a Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to desired position from HIGH to LOW.

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

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

•The center and two rear burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions. The two front burners are the high power burners for larger pans and fast boiling operations.

•Do not operate a 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 turned 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.

Auto Relight

The burners on this cooktop relight automatically if the flame goes out. This helps prevent the inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner. As with electric ignition, all of the burner igniters spark while a burner is relighting. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.

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.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the handle.
