Surface Burners
In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However, the
surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface
burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Lighting a Surface Burner
WARNING
Burners should be operated only
when covered by cookware. Burner flames not
covered by cookware present a risk of fire or
clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the
sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and
fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob
in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking
noise—the sound of the
electric spark igniting the
burner. When one burner is
turned to LITE, all burners
will spark. Sparking will
continue as long as the knob
remains at LITE. Once gas
is ignited, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size.
Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
■ Do not operate the burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
■ Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another
burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
■ Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials
on them.
Your rangetop offers convenience, cleanability and
flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer
burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking
performance for foods such as delicate sauces that
require low heat for a long cooking time.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When
rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the
size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than
the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may
be hazardous.
These flames are too large for the pot
Push the control knob in and
turn it to the LITE position.
