Lighting Instructions for

Electronic Ignition Models

Your surface burners are lighted by electronic ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position° Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failt, re occurs will continue to operate normally.,

The electrode of the spark igniter is expose& When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control.

The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners,

•The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

•On some models, the burners are all the same size and power.

Before Lighting a Burner

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly away from the burner when the burner is first turned on. A blowing sound may be heard the first few seconds. This normal sound is due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing sound will stoF
