Reignition Feature During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as water spillage, wind or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner. To Set: 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame. 2. Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI. Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels. 20,000 Btu/h Ultra Power™ Dual Flame Burner SETTING RECOMMENDED USE LITE (Light) ■ Light the burner.
