Electronic Ignitor
The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners, There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and
dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the ignitor clicks.

High Power Burner
The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the
cooktop. It retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low settings, pro-
hibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle, more predict-
able heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large amounts of sauces
or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large amounts of water to a boil.
