SURFACE COOKING

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.

Before Lighting a Burner

•If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at all times.

•Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner.

On ranges with sealed 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 right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE. 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.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the 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.
