Ignition
To light up the cooktop burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter
clockwise to “Hi” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of ignition pin
sparking.
Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust desired
flame size. If the knob stays at “Hi”, it will continue clicking.

CAUTION
Never leave pans on a high setting unattended. Be careful when cooking food in
fat or grease; it can become hot enough to ignite. Burner flames not covered by
cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond
the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Simmer and Boil
A smaller flame will give the best results when simmering. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for
delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking over low heat for long period of
time.
The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should
be used for heavy cooking jobs such as boiling water and cooking pasts.
Flame Size
• When you adjust the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
• Any flame exceeding the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be
hazardous .
• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Impurity in the gas supply may cause
an orange flame during initial operation.
Power Failure
• If the gas does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to
dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
• In the event of a power failure, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner
and turn the knob counter-clockwise to “HI”. After burner lights, turn knob to the desired setting.
Burner Grills
1. The grills must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grills may result in scratching
of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
2. Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on the grills.
