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 LITE
setting.
•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the LITE 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 LITE position.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.

SURFACE COOKING
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, 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.
CAUTION
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.
