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
●
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.
To
Light
a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE.
You will hear
a little “clicking” noise—the
sound of the
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.
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.
