Reignition Feature
During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.
To Set:
1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2.Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI.
Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.

Cooktop Surface
Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps after each use will help keep it free from stains.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
