Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control. The two
knobs on the left control the left front and left rear
burners. The two knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.

Before Lighting a Burner

• If drip pans are supplied with your range, they

should be used at all times.

• Make sure all the grates on the range are in place

before using any burner.

On ranges with sealed 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 right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

• On some models, the burners are all the same

size and power.

SURFACE COOKING

To Light a Surface Burner

Electric Ignition Models:

Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. 
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.

Standing Pilot Models:

Push control knob in and turn it to HI position. 
The burner should light within a few seconds.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift
slightly away from the burner when the burner
is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may
be heard for 30 to 60 seconds. 
This normal sound is
due to improved injection of gas and air into the
burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, 
or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it
lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be 
much less noticeable.

In case of a power failure, you can light the
surface burners on your range with a match. Hold
a lighted match to the burner, then turn the 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.

After Lighting a Burner

• 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.

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot

holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
