Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LIGHT. Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.

Light the burner. Start food cooking. Bring liquid to a boil. Hold a rapid boil. Quickly brown or sear food. Fry or sauté foods. Cook soups, sauces and gravies. Stew or steam foods. Keep food warm. Melt chocolate or butter. Simmer.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges. Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the �General Cleaning� section. Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.
