The range is equipped with electronic ignition
which eliminates the need for a standing pilot
light.
The burners on this range will automatically
relight if the flame goes out.
All surface burner igniters will spark and make
clicking sounds when any burner is turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters
are clicking.
Occasionally the burners may spark if excess
wind or a draft blows the flame away from the
burner’s flame sensor.
The griddle and IR (infrared) grill are equipped
with Glo-Bar igniters. The Glo-Bar remains
energized whenever the griddle or IR grill is in
use to ensure the burner always stays lit.

stacked
burners
All surface burners on your range have two sets
of flames stacked one on top of the other; the
dual-flame burners have a lower (simmer) flame
and a upper (main) flame.
When a burner is turned on, the lower flame will
always light and stay on.

The stacked burner design provides a wide
range of heat settings with which to simmer.
Depending on the type and quantity of food, and
pan size, the flame can be adjusted to suit your
specific need. The lowest setting uses only the
lower flame and can maintain delicate foods at
a safe 140°F.
Cooking
Settings from /2 to ;+, will use both upper
and lower flames. Use /2 to +, for all purpose
cooking. Use +, or ;+, (highest setting) with
