COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.

Before setting a control knob, place ﬁlled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

The ﬂame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

Sealed Surface Burners

A. Burner cap B. Burner base C. Alignment pins

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven ﬂames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover, and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas Tube Opening: Gas must ﬂow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

D. Igniter E. Gas tube opening

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a ﬂame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between Hi and Lo.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power Failure

In case of a prolonged power failure, the surface burners cannot be lit manually. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.

Burner Ports: Check burner ﬂames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good ﬂame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF

and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base and clean

according to the “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
