Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob down and turn it
to the
LITE
position.
You will hear a little
clicking
noise—the
sound of the electric spark igniting the
burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob
to adjust the flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob
clockwise, as far as it will go, to the
OFF
position.
If the flame is too low at the setting, the
valve can be adjusted. Refer to
Flames too
high or too low at the LOW setting
in the
Troubleshooting Tips
section.
Push the control knob down and
turn it to the LITE position.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware you
are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
Electric Ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric
ignition, eliminating the need for
standing pilots with constantly burning
flames.
In case of a power outage,
you can light
the surface burners on your cooktop
with a match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then turn the control knob to
the high position.
Use extreme caution
when lighting the burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR
GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM
IS NOT OPERATIONAL.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■
Make sure all grates on the cooktop
are in place before using any burner.
■
Only surface burners may be used
on the right side.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■
Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
■
Check to be sure the burner you turn
on is the one you want to use.
■
Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand,
a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
■
When trying to simmer delicate
foods, use the right side of the unit
for best results. The
LO
setting on
the left side is hotter to accommodate
the grill module. If you find that the
LO
setting is too hot, you can adjust
the valve. See the
Troubleshooting Tips
section.
■
Do not allow large pans to extend
over the control knobs. Heat trapped
between large pans and control
knobs could cause possible damage
to the control knobs.
