How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the
LITE
position.
You will hear a little
clicking
noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at
LITE,
it will continue
to click.
When one burner is turned to
LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric shock
may result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the
LITE
position.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner
After Lighting a Gas Burner
n
Drip pans are supplied with your range;
they should be used at all times.
n
Make sure all burners are in place.
n
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
n
Do not operate the burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
n
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials
on them.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience
and flexibility to be used in a wide range
of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position
is the simmer burner. This burner can be
turned down to a very low simmer setting.
It provides precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear and, on some models,
left front) and the large (right front and, on
some models, left front) burners are the
primary burners for most cooking. These
general-purpose burners can be turned down
from
HI
to
LO
to suit a wide range of cooking
needs.
NOTE:
On some models, the burners are all
the same size and power.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
