COOKTOP USE

This manual covers several different models. The range you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations and 
appearances of the features shown here may not match those of your model.

Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when 
control knobs are turned to LITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. 
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without 
cookware on the grate.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. 
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and the range operating 
improperly. 

To Set Burner Temperature:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the 
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. The clicking 

will stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat 
levels.

To Set Oven Temperature:

Push in and turn oven control knob to desired temperature setting.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit 
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob 
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to 
setting.
