COOKTOP USE
Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and the range operating
improperly.
To Set Burner Temperature:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners and the oven burner will click. Only
the burner with the control knob turned to Lite will produce a
flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. The clicking will
stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat
levels.
To Set Oven Temperature:
1. Push in and turn oven control knob counterclockwise to LITE.
2. Look through the hole in the oven bottom to verify that the
pilot inside the cavity is lit.
3. Turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature
setting.
Battery failure
In case of prolonged battery failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps and bases according to
the “General Cleaning” section.
