  1. Select the range burner to be used.

  2. Turn the operating selection knob to the "Ignite" setting. A faint "clicking" sound will be heard.

  3. Place the open flame of the match or lighter underneath the top burner covering. The flame will assist the auto-igniter in lighting the burner.

  4. Set the operating temperature as desired on the control knob. After the pilot has lit, the entire burner will activate.

Warnings

This process should only be performed by an adult or those with close adult supervision.

If the burner will not light, or there is a persistent gas smell, discontinue all attempts and contact the gas company and a registered technician for maintenance.
