Ignition

To light the cooktop burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to a “Hi”

position. You will hear a clicking noise –the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the flame size. If

the knob stays at “Hi”, it will continue to click.

NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “Hi” position, all the burners will spark. Do not attempt to

disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap,

burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.

Hi Ignites the burners.

Simmer Melting small quantities, steaming rice, warming food, melting

chocolate or butter.

Low Melting large quantities.

Low-Medium Low-temperature frying, simmering large quantities, heating milk,

cream sauces, gravies.

Medium Sautéing and browning, braising, pan-frying, maintaining

slow boil on large quantities.

Medium-Hi High-temperature frying, pan boiling, maintaining slow boil

on large quantities.

Hi Boiling liquid quickly, deep frying.

A smaller flame will give the best results when simmering. Small flames offer precise cooking

performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking

over low heat for long period of time.

The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This

setting should be used for heavy cooking jobs such as boiling water and cooking pasts.

• When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.

• Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.

• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an

orange flame during initial operation.

• If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five

minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.

• In the event of a power failure, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match

near a burner and turn the knob counter-clockwise to “HI”. After burner lights, turn knob to the

desired setting.
