Surface burners

The gas sealed burners have an auto- reignition system. The sealed burners spread heat evenly across the bottom of the cooking utensil and provide infinite heat control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that burner.

Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. gas, L.P. Gas Conversion Kits are avail- able from your authorized KitchenAid dealer or parts outlet. Use Kit No. 4175444 for Model KGCT025Y. Use Kit No. 4173627 for Model KGCT025A. In all cases, the conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

When to use the rear burner:

Use this burner for cooking large quantities of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with a large cooking utensil.

When to use the front burner:

Use this burner for simmering or for cooking smaller quantities of food requiring a small cooking utensil.

How to use the surface burners:

1.Grasp the control knob.

2.Push down and turn to the left to HI. The electric spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into the burner. When you hear a clicking sound, you know that the ignitors are working. Gas is flowing as long as the control knob is not set at OFF.

3.When the burner is lit, turn the control knob to the left to the desired flame setting. (See guide above.) The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.

NOTES:

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

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

•Visually check that 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 that the service cord is firmly in
