USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Using the control knobs
Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LITE.
•Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.
•Push in the control knob and turn it counter- clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.
• To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook set- ting you want. You can set the control knob
anywhere between HI and LO.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
