USING YOUR RANGE

To get the best cooking results, you should use your range the correct way. This section tells you what you need to know to use your range safely and efficiently.

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

wWARNING

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Do not operate with a yellow flame.

Doing so can result in death, heart attack, or convulsions.

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.

Using the control knobs

Push in the control knob and turn it counter- clockwise to the LIGHT position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.

To stop the clicking

sound after the burner

lights, turn the control

knob to the cook setting you want. The control knob has two cook

settings. However, you can set the control knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

Easy ways to save energy

To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

Preheat your pans only when recom- mended and for the shortest time possible.

Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.
