Rangetop Controls
Electronic Ignition and Automatic Reignition
The rangetop is equipped with electronic ignition which
eliminates the need for a standing pilot light.
The burners on this rangetop will automatically relight if
the flame goes out.
All surface burner igniters will spark and make clicking
sounds when any burner is turned on. Do not touch any
of the burners when igniters are clicking.
Occasionally the burners may spark if excess wind or a
draft blows the flame away from the burner's flame sensor.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to
the LITE position.
WARNING
Burners should be operated only
when covered by cookware. Burner flames not
covered by cookware present a risk of fire or
clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the
sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
Dual-flame Stacked Burners
All surface burners on your rangetop have two sets of
flames stacked one on top of the other; the dual-flame
burners have a lower (simmer) flame and a upper (main)
flame.
When a burner is turned on, the lower flame will always
light and stay on.
Simmering:
The stacked burner design provides a wide rangetop of
heat settings with which to simmer. Depending on the
type and quantity of food, and pan size, the flame can
be adjusted to suit your specific need. The lowest setting
uses only the lower flame and can maintain delicate
foods at a safe 140°F.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface
burners on your rangetop with a match. Hold a
lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the
LOW position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Do not attempt to light the grill or griddle during a power
outage. The gas to these burners will automatically shut
off during a power outage.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.
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.

LO to HI
