How
to select
flame size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or
reduce heat.

The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and
only serves to heat the handle.

NOTE:

Use 10

″ or larger diameter

cookware when using heat settings between
HI and X-HI.

Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise

to the LITE position.

After the burner ignites,

turn the knob in either

direction to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off,

turn the knob clockwise,

as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

• All of the burners can be used for both

general cooking and simmering.

• Do not operate a 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.

• For your convenience, the indicator lamp

in the bezel for each knob verifies the
burner is “ON”.

• Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”

when you finish cooking.

Electronic
ignition &
automatic
reignition

Your surface burners are equipped with
electronic ignition which eliminates the
need for a standing pilot light.

All igniters will spark and make clicking sounds
when only one burner is being turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters
are clicking.

The burners on this cooktop will automatically
relight if the flame goes out. All burners will
spark while any one burner is relighting.

Burners may spark if wind or a draft lifts the
flame away from the flame sensor.

In case of a power outage,

you can light the

surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
