Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
Using Your Cooktop
Using the Surface Burners
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an
electric ignition system. The sealed burners spread
the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware
and provide infinite heat control.
All burners use the same size burner cap. It makes
no difference if the caps
are switched during
cleaning. Also, all of the
grates are the same size.
When correctly posi-
tioned, the grate legs fit
into the depressed circles
at the front and back of
the porcelain
surface.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the cap fits on correctly
and is level over the burner base.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use
with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. gas, an
L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is provided with the
unit. The conversion must be done by a quali-
fied service technician.
Using the control knobs
Your cooktop comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically
light the burners each
time you turn the control
knobs to LITE position.
•Do not operate a
burner for extended
periods of time without
having cookware on the
grate.
•Push in the control
knob and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE
position. The clicking sound is the ignitor
sparking. Make sure the burner is lit.
•To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,
turn the control knob to the cook setting you
want. You can set the control knob anywhere
between HI and LO.
NOTE: When you turn a knob to the LITE position
the electric ignitors on all burners will spark. Gas
will only flow to the selected burner.
