NOTES:

•The ignitors may click a number of times before burner lights. This is normal.

•All four burner ignitors will spark regardless of which burner you are using.

•Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on valve shaft. If the spark ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest designated service outlet.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in

a while, even after the burner has ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with correct polarity.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings (see chart later in this section). If the heat setting is too high, it will affect cooking results.

One of the key features of the KDRP407H is its dual-fuel capability, which combines the best of both worlds: a gas cooktop and an electric oven.

The burners come with various power options, giving users versatile cooking choices, from simmering delicate sauces to achieving a quick boil.

Another standout technology incorporated into the KDRP407H is the Even-Heat True Convection.
