Using your Range

Cooktop Burners

The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that knob controls. Each burner has a special safety device that stops the fl ow of gas if the fl ame goes out.

Push in and turn a knob to the () lighting position.

Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Adjust the fl ame height to suit by turning the knob. On this range the low position is beyond high, not between high and off. The ‘LO’ marks the low position. Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.

Make sure fl ames are under the pans. For safety reasons, adjust the fl ames so that they do not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on safety considerations.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base rims should not be used.

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the grates.

Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is 43/4”.

The Wok burners are designed to provide even heat over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and stir frying. When using large pans ensure that the pan does not over hang the edge of the cooktop. For heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more effi cient.

When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner, this is normal.

If after lighting, a cooktop burner’s fl ame goes out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.

Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity

If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners can be lit with a match.

1.Hold a burning a match ½ inch from the burner head keeping your hand as far horizontally away from the burner as possible.

2.Push and turn burner control knob to HI/ lighting position. As soon as the burner fl ame lights move your hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the knob pressed for a few seconds so that the burner safety device can ‘sense’ the heat of the fl ame.
