COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to Ignite and will automatically reignite
if the flame is extinguished.
If a cross draft is present, the flame may be affected and some
sparking may occur. This is normal.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the
grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Lighted ring illuminates when valve is open.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to Ignite.
2.
Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the

Burner installation:
To install the burner base, insert the igniter electrode into the
burner base hole or notch.
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening:
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas
tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free
of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of
gas tube by always using a burner cap.
WARNING
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.
REMEMBER:
When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.
