Using the cooktop burners. GEAppliances.com
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Light a Burner
Make sure the control lock knob is in the
UNLOCKED position and all 3 grates are
installed
Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights
with constantly burning flames
Push the control knob down and turn it to the
LITE position After the burner ignites, turn
the knob to adjust the flame size To turn the
burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it
will go, to the OFF position
■ Check to be sure the burner you turn on is
the one you want to use
■ Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking
■ In case of a power failure, you can light the
burners 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
Burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate
normally
■ 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
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them
Control Lock
To lock the cooktop and prevent unwanted use,
turn the control lock knob counterclockwise to
LOCKED An indicator light will glow to show
that the cooktop is locked
When locked, the cooktop will sound if any
control knob is set to any position other than
OFF
To unlock, turn the control lock knob to
UNLOCKED
Sealed Gas Burners
The smallest burner in the right rear (on all
models) and the left rear burner (on some
models) are the simmer burners These burners
can be turned down to LO for a very low setting
They provide precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time
The medium (left and right front or left front
and rear) and the large (right front) burners (on
some models) are the general-purpose burners
that can be turned down from HI to LO to suit a
wide range of cooking needs
PowerBoil
™

The extra large center burner has special
PowerBoil
™
settings This feature should only be
used with cookware 12″ or larger in diameter,
and flames should never be allowed to extend
up the sides of the cookware This feature is
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid in pots 12″ or larger in diameter to a boil
The tri-ring burner (on some models) can also
be turned down to LO for a very low simmer
setting
