Cooktop Burner Operation
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is
does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. As
a matter of safety, it’s recommended that you comply
with these instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both inecient and unsafe. The flame should
always be adjusted so that it is no larger than the bottom of the pan. Fluctuations
in flame size could be caused by pressure variations, improperly positioned burners,
damage or debris.
To light a burner, press the burner knob in and turn counter clockwise to high flame/
ignition position. You will hear the electronic ignition clicking as you continue to
hold the knob down until the flame lights. ALL electrodes will spark at a rate of
approximately 2½ pulses (sparks) per second. Continue to hold the knob depressed
until gas ignites at the burner. Adjust the intensity of top burner heat in the same
manner described above.
Note: In the event the electronic ignition system fails, the top burners and oven pilot
can be lit by holding a lighted match near the burner head and turning the appropriate
top burner knob to the “9 o’clock position”.
