HOW TO USE
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface
burners on your range with a match.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally.
1
Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in the control
knob.
2
Turn the control knob to the "
Lo
” position.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum
Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats
quickly and evenly. Most foods
brown evenly in an aluminum
skillet. Use saucepans with tight
fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron
If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Stainless Steel
This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal
skillets work satisfactorily if they
are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Enamelware
Under some conditions, the
enamel of this cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking
methods.
Glass
There are two types of glass
cookware - those for oven use only
and those for top-of-range cooking.
Heatproof Glass
Ceramic
Can be used for either surface or
oven cooking. It conducts heat
very slowly and cools very slowly.
Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used
on gas ranges.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when lighting burners with a match.
Doing so can cause burns and damage.
Using the Gas Surface Burners
1
Be sure that all of the surface burners are placed in the
correct positions.
2
Put the cookware on the burner. (Example: pot, frying
pan, etc.)
3
Push and turn the control knob to the “
u
” position.
You will hear a clicking noise from the electric spark
ignition system.
4
Turn the control knob to control the flame size.
CAUTION
DO NOT
attempt to disassemble or clean around any
burner while another burner is on. When turning a
burner to “
u
”, all the burners spark. An electric shock
may result, which could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
Selecting the Flame Size
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 that you are using.
CAUTION
NEVER
let the flames extend up the sides of the cook-
ware.
