indicator markings have been placed on the spill Protector Rings 

and on the control bezel/panel, next to each control knob, to 

clearly identify the burner controlled by each knob. to indicate 

whether the knob controls burners on the front or rear, the knobs 

are grouped by two’s accordingly. the burner being controlled 

is indicated by a blue “NeON” indicator light, while the adjacent 

(front or rear) burner is illustrated by a half sphere bump, of the 

same control bezel material, located also on the control panel.

to light a particular burner, press in on the corresponding control 

knob, then immediately rotate the knob counterclockwise from the 

“OFF” (ø) position to the “HigH” position (larger end of the curvy 

comet-shape marking on the spill Protector Rings). all ignitors 

will spark continuously until the gas ignites on the selected 

burner. ignition should occur within four seconds of turning to this 

position. the ignitors will stop sparking as soon as the burner 

ignites.

Once the burner is “ON”, reduce the flame height by rotating the 

control knob further, counterclockwise, then place the utensil on 

the grate. Progressively lower flame heights are achieved as the 

knob is turned toward the small end (tip) of the spill Protector 

Ring marking (counterclockwise).

there are a total of four burners, including two large burners 

rated at a maximum output of 1,500 Btu/HR and two medium 

burners rated at a maximum output of 9,500 Btu/HR. the two 

large burners are located at the front right and the rear left of the 

cooktop, and the two medium burners are located in the back right 

and the front left.

ImPortant:

1.     If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, then turn off the 
        valve. allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate, then 
        repeat the lighting procedure.
2.  Burner ignitors must always be kept clean and dry to function 

properly. Due to the Perma-Flame re-ignition feature, dirty or wet 

ignitors will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame 

present. additionally, ignitors will spark automatically if the 

flame is distorted by a draft or by a ventilation system. eliminate 

the draft or reduce the ventilation blower speed in this case.

3.  Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or ignitor while the 

ignitors are sparking. an electrical shock could result.

4.  When the cooktop is cool and/or more than two burners are in 

use, the ignitors may continue to spark if the control knob is set 

to the “loW” position. this is normal until the burner warms up. 

the tendency to spark under these conditions can be reduced 

by operating the burner at a higher flame setting for a short 

period of time (normally 60 seconds or less), then adjusting the 

control knob down to the “loW” setting. the burner will also 

warm up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate.

5.  the flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material 

and dust  in the gas line and/or in the environment, especially 

in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial 

operation. this will disappear with further use.

6.  the flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of the 

burner, except underneath each grate support finger, where the 

flame height is reduced by the smart-Flame™ feature. If the 

flame is uneven, ensure that the brass burner ring and porcelain 

burner cap are properly positioned, then check for any foreign 

material in the burner ring or on the burner cap. remove any 

foreign material with a straightened paper clip, wire, or needle.  

Do not damage the brass or distort the shape of the burner ring 

ports.

For Rse range top, rotate one surface element knob at a time, 

counterclockwise, to the “Hi” position. within 5 seconds, the 

element should be fully energized and glowing red. verify that 

the residual heat indicator light comes on in conjunction with the 

proper element, within approximately 30 seconds. Return the knob 

to the “OFF” position. Repeat for all surface elements. (Note: the 

right front element is  a dual coil element. clockwise rotation from 

“lO” to “Hi” will energize the inner coil only. counterclockwise 

rotation from “lO” to “Hi” will energize both the inner and outer 

coils together).

to turn the element on, tap the “ON/OFF” key then tap the slew 

up/down area of the desired element. the element will come on at 

a setting of the number touched and may be adjusted up or down 

by slewing up or down on the appropriate key area with your

to activate the dual Outer element, tap the circle key at the end 

of the slew area (second row), then tap or slew your finger up or 

down on the second row of numbers. the outer ring element will
