How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Safety

Push the control knob down 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 down 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.

Instructions Operating

Sealed Gas Burners

The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking 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.

The other burners are higher powered and will bring liquids to a boil quicker, especially with the use of a lid.

Instructions Care

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.

and Cleaning

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your cooktop 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.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.

Troubleshooting Tips

Before Lighting a Gas Burner

Make sure all grates on the cooktop 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.
