Before Lighting a Gas Burner After Lighting a Gas Burner

Instructions Safety

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

■Make sure all burners are in place.

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

■Do 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.

■Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials

on them.

Tips Installation Instructions Operating

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position (on electric ignition models) or HI (on standing pilot models).

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Make sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.

Electric Ignition Models:

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.

Standing Pilot Models:

Push control knob in and turn it to HI position. The burner should light within a few seconds.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly away from the burner when the burner is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be heard for 30–60 seconds. This normal sound is due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable.

On Ranges with Sealed Gas Burners

The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned down to 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 left front) and the large (right 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.

NOTE: On some models, the burners are all the same size and power.
