Cooktop Controls
Electronic Ignition and Automatic Reignition
The range is equipped with electronic ignition which
eliminates the need for a standing pilot light.
The burners on this range will automatically relight if
the
fl
ame goes out.
All surface burner igniters will spark and make
clicking sounds when any burner is turned on or if
automatic reignition occurs. Do not touch any of the
burners when igniters are clicking.
Occasionally the burners may spark if excess wind
or a draft blows the
fl
ame away from the burner’s
fl
ame sensor.
The griddle and IR (infrared) grill are equipped with
Glo-Bar igniters. The Glo-Bar remains energized
whenever the griddle or IR grill is in use to ensure
the burner always stays lit.
In case of a power outage,
you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold
a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob
to the
LOW
position.
Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
Do not attempt to light the grill or griddle during
a power outage. The gas to these burners will
automatically shut off during a power outage.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it
counterclockwise
to the
LITE
position.
Simmering:
The stacked burner design provides a wide range
of heat settings with which to simmer. Depending
on the type and quantity of food, and pan size, the
fl
ame can be adjusted to suit your speci
fi
c need. The
lowest setting uses only the lower
fl
ame and can
maintain delicate foods at a safe 140°F.
Cooking:
Settings from
LO
to
X-HI
will use both upper and
lower
fl
ames. Use
LO
to
HI
for all purpose cooking.
Use
HI
or
X-HI
(highest setting) with larger diameter
cookware.
X-HI
and
HI
are very high heat settings and are
intended to sear foods quickly and boil large
quantities of water.

After the burner ignites,
turn the knob to adjust the
fl
ame size.
To turn a burner off,
turn the knob clockwise, as far
as it will go, to the
OFF
position.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period
•
of time without cookware on the grate. The
fi
nish on the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.

substitute for visually checking the
fl
ame at the
burner.
Dual-
fl
ame Stacked Burners
All surface burners on your range have two sets of
fl
ames stacked one on top of the other; the dual-
fl
ame burners have a lower (simmer)
fl
ame and a
upper (main)
fl
ame.
When a burner is turned on, the lower
fl
ame will
always light and stay on.
