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.

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
■
Make sure all burners are in place.
■
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas 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.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has five sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability 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
LO
for 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 the large (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.
The extra large burner (right front) is the
maximum output burner. Like the other four
burners, it can be turned down from
HI
to
LO
for a wide range of cooking applications;
however, this burner is designed to quickly
bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has
a special
POWER BOIL
™
setting designed to
be used with cookware 10 inches or larger
in diameter.
The center oval burner (on some models) is
for large pots/pans or for use with the griddle.
