COOKTOP USE WARNING 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. 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 the Ignite position. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting. Sealed Surface Burners A B D 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. To Set: 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to the Ignite position. IMPORTANT: All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to the Ignite position will produce a flame. 2. Turn knob to anywhere between Hi and Lo. REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot. E C A. Burner cap B. 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. A B A. 1-11/2" (2.5-3.8 cm) B. Burner ports Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports. 6
