Using the Surface Burners
Before Using the Surface Burners
Throughout this manual, features and appearance
may vary from your model.
• Make sure all grates on the cooktop are properly
placed before using any burner.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before
you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning
cloths or other materials on them.
• Make sure all burners are in place.
• Do not operate the 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.
Lighting a Gas Surface Burner
• Push the control knob of the burner that you
wish to light and turn it counterclockwise to
LITE.
• When turning a burner to LITE, all the burners
spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another burner is on.
An electric shock may result, which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.
• If you keep the control knob held down, the
automatic ignition for the burner will operate.
• You should hold down the control knob for 15
seconds after the flame on the burner has lit. If
after 15 seconds the burner has not lit, stop
operating the device and ventilate the area and/
or wait at least 1 minute before attempting a
further ignition of the burner.
• After this 15 second interval, to regulate the
flame you should continue turning the control
knob counterclockwise until the flame is at a
suitable level. The operating position must be at
a position between HI and LO.
• To switch the burner off, turn the control knob
fully clockwise to the gas off position.
• In case of power failure, the burners can be lit by
carefully using a match.
In Case of Power Failure
• In case of a power failure, you can light the gas
surface burners on the cooktop with a match.
Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and
turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use
extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
• Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Automatic Ignition with Flame
Failure Safety Device (Gas Control)
• The appliance is fitted with a flame failure safety
device on each burner, which is designed to stop
the flow of gas to the burner head in the event of
the flame going out.
Safety and Energy Saving
The diameter of the bottom of the pan should
correspond to that of the burner.
