Lighting instructions
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition*
eliminadng the need for standing pilots with
constantly burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a march. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the IITE
posidon. Use extreme caution when lighting buj^ners
in this manner.
Surface burners in use when an e iectrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. When
one burner is nirned to LITE, all the burners spark
Do not disassemble or clean around any burner while
another burner is on. An electric shock may result,
which could cause you to Imock over hot cookware.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
located on the control panel in front of the burners.
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.

the best simmer results. It offers precise cooldng
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.
