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.

After Lighting a Gas 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.
