Surface Controls

Pilotless Ignition

Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the
surface burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.

Setting the controls:

The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
•The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from
the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the Light
setting.
•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All five ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the Light position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
•The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is
turned past the Light position.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
