Lighting Inst 'uctions
Surface burners on this range are lighted by electric ignition, ending the need for standing pilots with con- stantly burning flames.
In case of a power outage, you can light the pilotless ignition surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners in this manner.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail- ure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.
The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

will hear a little clicking
electric spark igniting the burner
Flame will be a_most horizontal and will lift slightly away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is
due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner° Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable
Note:
o Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate., The finish on
the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
o Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them
How to Select Flame Size

Glass: There are two types of glass
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distri-
bution Combination metal skillets generally work
satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manu-
