Setting Surface & Oven Controls
NOTE: “:” Flashing indicates Minute Timer mode. The
Electronic Time of Day clock graphics shown vary by model.
Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots
must be lit initially. Refer to your installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot. Standing pilots
will remain lit when the burners are turned OFF. Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob
is turned to the LITE position.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire
if placed too close to a flame.

Operating the Surface Burners
1.
Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2.
Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3.
Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. If your range is equipped with electronic
ignitors, all four ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.
3.
Visually check that the burner has lit.
4.
Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control
knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and adjust the flame as
needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic
ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount
of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly.
If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

PROPER
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.
Select a burner & flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
