Igniting a Burner
Burner
location,
left rear
• Each burner knob has a corresponding burner,
the location of which appears in a small graphic
next to each knob.
• In contrast to the other knobs, the griddle knob
has no Lite.
• If a burner does not ignite, the igniter keeps
sparking, or if the ame is uneven, see
Troubleshooting, Pg. 25.
1. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to Lite.
• The burner's igniter sparks (click-click-click...) until it lights (about 4 seconds). A normal ame is steady,
blue, and burns evenly around the burner. Foreign matter in the gas line may cause an orange ame
that disappears with use. Small yellow tips on the ames are typical of LP gas.
2. Put the cookware on the grate, and adjust the ame to the cooking task.
Tips
• Foods cook as quickly at a gentle boil as at a vigorous boil. Using an unnecessarily high boil wastes energy
and cooks moisture, avor, and nutrients out of food.
• Use a low or medium ame if using cookware that is a poor heat conductor (e.g., glass, ceramic, cast iron).
Reduce the ame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This ensures even heating and lowers the chance of
burning/scorching the food.
Manual Ignition
If case of a power failure, you can, with caution, ignite the burner manually.
1. Hold a long gas-grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Turn the burner knob to Lite, and use the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3. After ignition, turn the knob to adjust the ame level.
