Using Your Cooktop
Stainless Steel Cooktop
Electronic ignition & automatic reignition
Your surface burners are equipped with electronic ignition which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light.
All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds when only one burner is being turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters are clicking.
The burners on this cooktop will automatically relight if the flame goes out. All burners will spark while any one burner is relighting.
Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the flame away from the flame sensor.
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.
To light a burner
Push the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position.
ER LITE
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.
•All of the burners can be used for both general cooking and simmering.
•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.
•For your convenience, the indicator lamp in the bezel for each knob verifies the burner is “ON”.
•Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF” when you finish cooking.
How to select flame size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or 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 and only serves to heat the handle.
NOTE: Use 10″ or larger diameter cookware when using heat settings between HI and
13
