Using the surface burners (cont.)
Using the control knobs
Your cooktop comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically
light the burners each
time you turn the con-
trol knobs to LITE.
• Place a filled pan on
the burner grate before
turning on the surface
burner. Do not operate
a burner for extended
periods of time without
having cookware on
the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking
sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the
burner has lit.
• To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,
turn the control knob to the cook setting you
want. You can set the control knob
anywhere between HI and LO.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
Using Your Cooktop
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
