SURFACE COOKING

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 of the ignitors will spark whenever any
surface burner knob is turned to the LIGHT position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired
flame size.
• The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is
turned past the LIGHT position.

Operating During a

Power Failure

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat
settings is available from LOW to HIGH. The knobs can be set
on or between any of the settings.
Graphics next to the knob identify which burner
the knob controls. For example, the graphic at
left shows the right front burner location.
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation and
the burner does not reignite itself, turn the burner off. If a
strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five
minutes before relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the range.
•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
