Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Lighting lnstructions for Electric Ignition Models
The surface burners on some models are lit by
electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing
pilot Iights with constantly buming flames.
In case of a power failure,
you can light
the surface burners on your range with
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,
then turn the knob to the
LITE
position.
Use extreme caution when lighting burnes
this way.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed. When one burner is turned
lo
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.
Surface burners in use when an
electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and
off are located on the control panel on the front
of the range. The two surface knobs on the left
control the left front and left rear bumers. The
two surface knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
After Lighting a Bumer
Be sure the burners and grates are
cool before you place your hand, a
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size.
Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is the one you want to use.
Do not operate a 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.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to
LITE
(
HI
on pilot models). On
electric ignition models, you will
hear a little
clicking
noise—the
sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.

To Use a Surface Burner
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flame extead up the sides of the cookware.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to
heat the handle.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat the flame size on a gas burner should
match Ihe cookware you are using.
Never let the flame estend up the
sides of the cookware.
