How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed
in their respective positions.
Electric Ignition Models:
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.
Standing Pilot Models:
Push control knob in and turn it to
HI
position.
The burner should light within a few seconds.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will
lift slightly away from the burner when
the burner is first turned on. A blowing
or hissing sound may be heard for
30–60 seconds. This normal sound is due
to improved injection of gas and air into
the burner. Put a pan on the burner before
lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan
size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or
hissing sound will be much less noticeable.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the
LITE
position (on electric
ignition models) or
HI
(on standing
pilot models).

■
If drip pans are supplied with your range,
they should be used at all times.
■
Make sure all burners are in place.
■
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
■
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.
■
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
On Ranges with Sealed Gas Burners
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 left front)
and the large (right 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.
