IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC IGNITION

There are separate ignition devices for the left and right hand surface burners. Both of these ignitors are ON when any knob is turned to the LITE setting. The ignitors will spark as long as any of the top burner knobs are at the LITE setting.

In the event of an electrical power failure, the top burners can still be used. To light a burner, hold a lit kitchen match adjacent to the top burner to be used and turn valve knob to LITE. USE EXTREME CAUTION.
