Using the cooktop burners.

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
UNLOCK position.
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
(on some models)
To lock the cooktop and prevent
unwanted use, turn the control lock knob
counterclockwise to LOCK. 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 UNLOCK.

Sealed Gas Burners
The smallest burner in the right rear
and the center burner (on some models)
are the simmer burners. These burners
can be turned down to LO or SIMMER
(depending on model) 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 rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the general-
purpose burners that can be turned
down from HI to LO to suit a wide range
of cooking needs.

Dual Stack Burner
(on some models)
The extra large right front burner has
maximum heating and precise simmer
capability. It can be turned down from
PowerBoil
™ to SIMMER for a wide range
of cooking applications.
PowerBoil ™ Burner (on some models)
The extra large right front burner has
special PowerBoil
™ settings. This feature
should only be used with cookware 11
″
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 11
″ or larger in diameter to a boil.
