Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
Make sure all burners are in place.
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any 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.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
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.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the
knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the LITE position.
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.
How to Select Flame Size
Flames that are not covered by cookware
may present a risk of burns or clothing
ignition. Never let flames extend beyond
the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
adjust heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
and may be hazardous.
WARNING
Aluminum:
Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron:
If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware:
Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass:
There are two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and
Top-of-Range Cookware
those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic:
Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly.
Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel:
This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
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.
