Surface Cooking

Low: Food maintains a temperature above 140° F without continuing to cook. Food is heated on a higher flame size until it reaches this temperature and then the flame size is reduced. Some cooking may take place on the Low setting if the pan is covered.

Pilot Ignition (select models)

When the range is first installed, the standing pilots may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line. To bleed off air from the line, hold a lighted match next to the burner and turn the knob on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed as directed below.

Med: An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

High: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

To light pilot:

Raise the cooktop and hold a lighted match near the pilot ports (See illustration). There are two pilot ports, one on the right side and one on the left side.

Conventional Gas Burner

Surface Controls

CAUTION

•If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes before relighting the burner.

•Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position prior to supplying gas to the range.

•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

Pilotless Ignition (select models)

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. There are two ignitors for conventional surface burners. When cleaning around the surface burner use care. If cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could be damaged, preventing ignition.

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. At the High setting a detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Graphics next to the knob identify which burner the knob controls. For example, the graphic at left shows the left front burner location.
