If flame should go out during a
cooking operation, turn the
burner off. If a strong gas odor
is detected, open a window
and wait five minutes before
relighting the burner.
> Be sure all surface controls are
set in the OFF position prior to
supplying gas to the range.
> Never touch cooktop until it
has cooled. Expect some parts
of the cooktop, especially
around the burners, to become
warm or hot during cooking.
Use potholders to protect your
hands.
PILOTLESS IGNITION
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for
a constant standing pilot light. Each
sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When
cleaning around the surface burner use
care. If cleaning cloth should catch the
ignitor, it could be damaged preventing
ignition.
If the surface burner does not light,
check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet.
If clogged, clean the small port beneath
the ignitor using a straight pin or soft
bristle brush.
