Usingthe surfaceburners
Your cooktop is equipped with electronic ignitors. Electronic ignitors automatically light the burners each time they are used.
Control knobs must be pushed in, then turned to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignition sparking.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob back to a desired setting. The control knob can be set anywhere between HI and LO.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.
Use LITE to light the burner. After the burner lights, turn control back to a desired setting to stop the clicking of the ignitor.
Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.
Use MED to continue cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes; for gravy, pudding and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.
Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve.
NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the LITE position.
In case of a prolonged power failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn the control to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the control to the desired setting.

Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can burn you and cause poor cooking results.
Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON.
If the flame should go out while cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear, before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 3. Failure to follow these precautions could result in explo- sion or fire.
