How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
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.
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. The flame size on a gas burner
should match the cookware you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the
LITE
position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to
operate normally.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■
If drip pans are supplied with your range,
they should be used at all times.
■
Make sure all grates on the range are in
place 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
The smaller burner (right rear position)
will give the best simmer results. It offers
precise cooking performance for delicate
foods, such as sauces or foods which
need to cook over low heat for a long
time. It can be turned down to a very
low simmer setting.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the others and will bring liquids to
a boil quicker.
