In case of a prolonged power failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted. Hold a lit match near a burner and slowly turn the control knob on until the burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

When you are not using the oven, this is an accurate digital clock. When using the oven or Minute Timer, the display will show the time, temperature settings and what command buttons have been pressed.

When showing the time-of-day, the display will show the hour and minutes.

When using the Minute Timer, the display shows minutes and seconds in the following sequence:

1 For settings from 0 minutes to 1 minute 55 seconds, the display will increase in 5-second increments.

Control knobs must be pushed in, then turned to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignition sparking.

To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob back to a desired setting. The control knob can be set anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface burner markers

The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings, then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use LITE to light the burner. After the burner lights, turn control back to a desired setting to stop the clicking of the ignition.

Use a high setting to start food cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.

Use a medium setting to continue cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes; for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.

Use a low setting to keep food warm until ready to serve.

NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the LITE position.

1Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON.

. If the flame should go out while cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear, before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 2. Failure to follow these precautions could result in explosion or fire.
