COOKTOP USE WARNING To Set: 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. IMPORTANT: All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame. 2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Fire Hazard Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE. Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate. REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot. Power Failure In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting. Sealed Surface Burners Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration.

Burner base C. Alignment pins D. Igniter E. Gas tube opening IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges. Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the "General Cleaning" section. Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube by always using a burner cap. To Clean: IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers. 1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to "General Cleaning" section. 2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth. 3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist. 4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap. A A B B A. 1-1¹⁄₂" (2.5-3.8 cm) B. Burner ports A. Incorrect B. Correct 5. Turn on the burner.
