ABOUT YOUR COOKTOP

IGNITION SYSTEM
Your cooktop will feature either
pilot
ignition or
pilotless
ignition. If the gas supply to the range is turned off, be
sure all controls are set in the OFF position before
re-supplying gas to the appliance.
Pilot Ignition
When the range is first installed, the pilots may be difficult
to light due to air in the gas line. To bleed off air from the
line, hold a lighted match next to the burner and turn knob
on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed
as directed below.
To light pilot:
Raise cooktop and hold a lighted match
near the pilot ports. There are two pilot ports.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition uses a spark from the ignitor to light the
burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface
burners. Once the burner lights, turn the knob to the
desired setting. The clicking sound will not stop until the
knob is turned from the LITE position. Once the burner
lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The clicking
sound will not stop until the knob is turned from the LITE
position.
In the event of a power failure, the surface burner can
be manually lighted
. Be sure all controls are in the OFF
position. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface
burner head. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position.
The burner will then light. Adjust the flame to the desired
flame size.
HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNERS
CAUTION:
If the flame should go out during a cooking
operation, turn the burner off. If gas has accumulated and
a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait 5
minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting
burner
.
To prevent damage to the cooktop or pan, never operate
surface burner without a pan in place, never allow a pan
to boil dry and never operate a surface burner on HIGH
for extended periods of time.
To light surface burner:
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
NOTE:
The burner flame may lift off the burner head
and a “roaring” sound may be heard if a pan is not
placed on the grate before lighting the burner.
2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position.
Pilotless ignition models only:
A clicking sound will
be heard and the burner will light. When one burner is
turned on, all ignitors will spark.

3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired
flame size.
Pilotless ignition models only:
The ignitors will
continue to spark until the knob is turned from the LITE
position.
Adjust the flame size so it
does not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking
utensil. This is for
personal safety and to
prevent possible damage
to the appliance, pan, or
cabinets above the
appliance. This also improves cooking efficiency.
