How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

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.

After the flame lights, 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.

Cleaning Operating

Sealed Gas Burners

The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results 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 setting.

The largest burners are higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

Care and

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. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Troubleshooting Tips

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control 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.
