HOW TO USE THE TOP BURNERS
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs which control the valves. Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the following functions:
When knob is rotated to the maximum position it will permit the rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum position allows the simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the HI and Lo positions, and never between the HI and OFF positions.
When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions and also close the gas
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Push and turn the knob in a counterclockwise direction up to the HI position (maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit. The sparks produced by the internal igniter will light the designated burner.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions make it difficult to light the burner in the HI position, try again with the knob in Lo position.
2 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

Caution! The range becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
