Surface Burners
In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the
surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface
burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Lighting a Surface Burner
WARNING
Burners should be operated only when
covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by
cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never
let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and
fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob
in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking
noise—the sound of the
electric spark igniting the
burner. When one burner is
turned to LITE, all burners will
spark. Sparking will continue
as long as the knob remains
at LITE. Once gas is ignited,
turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
Replacing the 9V Battery (cordless range)
CAUTION
Battery may explode or leak and cause
burn injury, if recharged, disposed of in fire, inserted
backwards, or missassembled.
When a knob is turned to the
LITE
position, sparking
will occur at the burners. A weak battery will cause
the amount of time between sparks to increase. If the
time between sparks exceeds one second, replace
the battery. If a surface burner doesn’t light within five
seconds, turn gas off and wait one minute for gas to
dissipate before attempting to light again.
On some models, a
Battery
Level
indicator light is located to
the left of the burner knobs. This
light will glow as the burners
are being lit if the battery has
enough power. If this indicator
light fails to glow during
sparking, the battery power level
is low and the battery should be
replaced soon.
IMPORTANT:
Replace with
standard 9V alkaline battery.
Follow all state and local
requirements for disposing of
the old battery.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When
rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the
size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than
the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may
be hazardous.
These flames are too large for the pot
Push the control knob in and
turn it to the LITE position.

Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
■ Do not operate the burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
■ Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another
burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials
on them.
Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and
flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer
burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking
performance for foods such as delicate sauces that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
