Operating Instructions

 

nMake sure all burners are in place.

nMake sure all grates on the range are properly placed before using any burner.

nDo 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.

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.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has four sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned down to LO for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time.

The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.

The extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other three burners, it can be turned down from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil.

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.

8

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