How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
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.
After the flame lights, 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.
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. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light
the gas surface burners on your range
with a match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then push in and turn the control
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.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■
Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
After Lighting a Gas 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
The smaller burner (right rear position)
will give the best simmer results 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 setting.
The largest burners are higher powered
than the others and will bring liquids to
a boil quicker.
