SURFACE COOKING

PILOTLESS IGNITION SYSTEM
Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. Be sure all
surface controls are set in the OFF position prior to
supplying gas to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: When the appliance is first installed, the
surface burners may be difficult to light due to air in the
gas line. This may also occur if the appliance has been
disconnected from the main gas supply or if it has not
been used for several days or weeks.
To remove the air in the gas line, hold a lighted match
next to the burner head and turn the knob on. When
the burner lights, either adjust the knob to the desired
flame size or turn the burner off.
Pilotless ignition uses a spark from the ignitor to light the
burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface
burners. Each sealed burner has its own ignitor. Once the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The
clicking sound will not stop until the knob is turned from
the LITE position.
Ignitor
NOTE: The surface burner will not light if the ignitor is
damaged, broken, soiled or wet. Also, the burner will not
light if the small port beneath the ignitor is blocked. See
page 23 for cleaning instructions.
LIGHTING SURFACE BURNERS
To prevent damage to the cooktop or pan, never operate
surface burner without a pan in place, never allow a pan
to boil dry and never operate a surface burner on HIGH
for extended periods of time.
To light surface burner:
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
NOTE: The burner flame may lift off the burner head
and a “roaring” sound may be heard if a pan is not
placed on the grate before lighting the burner.
2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position.
A clicking sound will be heard and the burner will light.
When one burner is turned on, all ignitors will spark.
3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired
flame size. The ignitors will continue to spark until the
knob is turned from the LITE position.
CAUTION: If the flame should go out during a cooking
operation, turn the burner off. If gas has accumulated
and a strong gas odor is detected, wait 5 minutes for
the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner.
To light surface burner during a power failure:
1. Be sure all controls are in the OFF position.
2. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner
head.
3. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. The burner
will then light.
4. Adjust the flame to the desired flame size.
CAUTION: When lighting the surface burner, be sure
all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the
match first and hold it in position before turning the
knob to the LITE position.
