Manual ignition
If there is a power failure, you can ignite the burner manually. Use caution when
doing this.
1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Push in the control knob for that burner, and then turn it to the Lite position.
Turn on the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3. After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.
Flame level
The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not
extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.
WARNING
• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a fire or physical injury.

Make sure all surface burners are properly
installed. To light a burner:
1. Push in the control knob, and then turn
it to the Lite position. The knob LED is
on and you will hear a "clicking" sound
indicating the electronic ignition system
is working properly.
2. After the surface burner lights, turn
the control knob to shift it out of the
Lite position and turn off the electronic
ignition system.
3. Turn the control knob to adjust the flame
level.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the
flame to make sure it stays on.
• After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited even if
the knob LED is on. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All
surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service
technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.
• If the LED on the control knob doesn't turn on when the surface burner has
ignited, call a qualified service technician.
• If the knob LED illuminates, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the
control knob immediately.
Cookware
Requirements
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lid.
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or
pan.
Material characteristics
• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for range
top cooking or oven use.
