Setting Surface
Controls
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor.
Electric ignitors
light
automatically each time a Surface Control knob is turned to the LITE position.
To Operate the Surface Burner
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE.
Note:
All electronic ignitors
will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will
ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and
adjust the flame as needed.
DO NOT
cook with the control knob in the LITE
position. (The electronic ignitors will continue to click if one Surface Control
knob is left in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to a flame.
Griddle (some models)
Your non-stick griddle must first be "conditioned" to insure non-stick cooking.
Remove the enamel griddle cover. Wipe a teaspoon of vegetable oil over the surface
before using the griddle for the first time.
Do not overheat the griddle as this will cause permanent staining of the non-stick
coating. You can protect the non-stick coating by keeping the enamel cover over
the griddle when not in use.
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking. Do not use pans or other cookware
on the griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. After turning on the griddle
burner, you can check to see if it is ignited by looking at the griddle burner flame
reflection plate through the observation hole. See diagram of Griddle Burner at left.
5th Burner (some models)
The 5th burner pan, chrome bowl insert and a burner grate can be used in place
of the griddle. To use the griddle area for a 5th burner, remove the griddle and place
the 5th burner pan over the burner. Then place the bowl insert and the burner grate
in the proper position. Operate the 5th burner with the griddle control knob.

Griddle
The hole in the griddle cover should be
toward the backguard.
Make sure to locate the
griddle observation hole toward the front
of the range to observe the burner flame.
Do not use the griddle
cover over a lit burner or for cooking.
This may damage the cover.
