In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface 

burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, 

hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn 

the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights 

turn the knob to desired setting. Use caution when 

lighting surface burners manually.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the 

utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, 

and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.

The burner flame, at low setting, can be adjusted if 

it is too low; refer to the installation instruction for 

adjustment procedure.
to adjust standing Pilot model (some models)

Each burner lights automatically either an electric or a 

standing pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots 

must be lit initially. To light the standing pilot, open gas 

supply on pilot shutoff valves (screw), lift the cooktop 

from the front edge and hold a lighted match near the 

pilot. Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners 

are turned off; because of that, the porcelain enamel 

cooktop can be hot even if burners are not used; refer 

to installation instructions for proper pilot adjustment. 

Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time 

a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

 

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. 

Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will click at the 

same time. However, only the burner you are turning 

on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the 

desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to 

be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust  

For most cooking - start on the highest control setting 

and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use 

the recommendations below as a guide for determining 

proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size 

and type of utensil used and the amount of food being 

cooked will influence the setting needed.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the 

surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the 

food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, 

the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under 

cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at 

once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; 

pan broiling.

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, 

gravies; steaming.
