Using Your Cooktop...............................
A CAUTIONS:
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn
the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before relighting the
burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the cooktop.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner has a spark ignitor. When
cleaning around the surface burner use care. If cleaning cloth
should catch the ignitor, it could damage it preventing igni-
tion.
Setting the Controls
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
, The burner flame may lift off or appear separated
from the port if a pan is not placed on tbe grate.
2. Push down and turn the knob counterclockwise to the
LIGHT setting.
. A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any
surface burner knob is turned to the LIGHT posi-
tion.)
3. After the burner lights, urn the knob to the desired flame
size.
• The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob i_,
turned past the LIGHT position.
If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken,
soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath the
ignitor using straight pin.
