Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without any cookware on the grate. NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist. To Set: 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner. All four surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been turned on will produce a flame. IMPORTANT: Each surface burner is equipped to provide automatic reignition if the flame should somehow get blown out. REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
