1.Grasp the control knob.

2.Push down and turn 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 knob is not set at OFF.

3.When the burner is lit, turn the control knob to the desired flame setting. (See the guide under “Burner heat settings” later in this section.) You can turn the knobs to any of the marked settings. The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.

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 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 placed firmly in the wall re- ceptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

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

Proper grounding and polarity is neces- sary 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 awhile, even after the burner has ignited.

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
