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 clickingQRLVH³WKH
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 LO/SIMMER 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.
If the burner has not been used recently,
the flames may make a loud noise. This is
normal, and it should dissipate after 4 to 5
minutes.
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.
