Operation
Normal Operation
(Electronic Ignition/
Reignition)
In the Event of a Power
Failure
Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as boiling, frying, simmer-
ing, steaming and sauteing,
The cooktop has one control knob for each burner. Push down and turn to the
desired heat setting.
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use, the burner
will automatically reignite.
CAUTION:
Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in
use. All ignitors spark when any burner calls for a spark.
The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.
• Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
• If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without igniting the burner, or even
spark continuously when a flame is present.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the burner off. Check to
see that the cap is positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean
and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see Before Calling Service.
When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the igniter may occasionally
spark. This is normal.
In the event of a power failure, only the standard burners can be ignited manually.
If the cooktop is being used when a power failure occurs, turn all the burner con-
trol knobs to the OFF position. The standard burners can then be ignited manually
by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position.
Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner before adjusting the
flame to the desired height.
The two XLO burners on SGSX models cannot be ignited manually. Be sure to
turn XLO knobs OFF if a power failure occurs. The burners will not turn back on
until both control knobs are turned OFF and then turned back ON again after
power has been restored. See What To Do If You Smell Gas.
