How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in 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.
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.

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. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.
