How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a 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.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■
Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
■
Make sure to disable the Range
Lock-Out feature before attempting
to light the surface burners.
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.
Using the gas surface burners.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned to LO for a very low simmer
setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for
a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large
(left front) burners are the primary
burners for most cooking. These general-
purpose burners can be turned from HI to
LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is
the maximum output burner. Like the
other three burners, it can be turned
from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts
of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER
BOIL
™ setting designed to be used with
cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.
