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
After Lighting a Gas Burner
■
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.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience 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 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, on some
models, left front) and the large (left front
and, on some models, 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.
The extra large burner (right front, on
some models) is the maximum output
burner. Like the other three 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.
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.
