Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally. Surface Burners Lighting a Surface Burner WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury. Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner. 6HOHFWDEXUQHUDQGILQGLWVFRQWURONQRE3XVKWKHNQRE in and turn it to the LITE position. You will hear a clicking QRLVH²WKHVRXQGRIWKH electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE.

When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous. These flames are too large for the pot Replacing the 9V Battery (cordless range) CAUTION Battery may explode or leak and cause burn injury, if recharged, disposed of in fire, inserted backwards, or missassembled. When a knob is turned to the LITE position, sparking will occur at the burners. A weak battery will cause the amount of time between sparks to increase. If the time between sparks exceeds one second, replace the battery. If a surface burner doesn't light within five seconds, turn gas off and wait one minute for gas to dissipate before attempting to light again. On some models, a Battery Level indicator light is located to the left of the burner knobs. This light will glow as the burners are being lit if the battery has enough power. If this indicator light fails to glow during sparking, the battery power level is low and the battery should be replaced soon. IMPORTANT: Replace with standard 9V alkaline battery. Follow all state and local requirements for disposing of the old battery.
