Gas Burner Component

Component Cooktop System

To light a burner

1.The gas burner controls must turn counterclockwise to the LITE position to ignite the burner. The burner ignites automatically.

2.Once the burner is ignited, turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust the flame lower. A sparking sound caused by the igniter is normal until ignition occurs.

3.The burners will relight at any setting. However, for the burners to light quickly and consistently when the gas is turned on, the knobs should be turned to the LITE position until ignition occurs.

4.To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the off (O) position.

•The front burner is best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions. The rear burner is the high power burner for larger pans and fast boiling operations.

•Do not operate a 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.

•Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.

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

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the desired position.

Turn the knob either direction to adjust the flame size.

How to select flame size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.

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

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.

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