1. Remove the outdoor side burner cover.

2. Remove the manual lighting extension (see following 

illustration) and attach a match to the split ring.

3. Strike the match to light it.

4. Guide the match to the burner you wish to light.

5. Do not lean over the side burner. Push in and turn the burner 

knob to LITE/HI for the burner closest to the lit match. The 
burner will light immediately. When burner is lit, turn knob to 
desired setting.

6. Repeat for each of the other burners as needed.

7. Remove match and replace manual lighting extension inside 

its holder.

If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF 
and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

If any burners do not light after attempting to manually light them, 
contact the KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center. See the 
“Assistance or Service” section.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the side burner is cool. Always follow label instructions on 
cleaning products.

For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth 
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, 
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.

Do not use steel wool to clean the side burner, as it will scratch 
the surface.

To avoid weather damage to finish, use stainless steel side 
burner cover.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not 
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop 
Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths or paper towels.

To avoid damage to the finish, cleaners should not contain 
chlorine.

Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire side burner is 
cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.

■

Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the 
surface.
