Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting

Burner Use Suggestions:

Use the right front, right rear or left rear burners for simmering, or for cooking smaller quantities of food requiring small cookware.

Use the left front POWER™ Burner for bringing liquids to a rapid boil, cooking large quantities of food, or deep-fat frying requiring large cookware.

Sealed Surface Burners

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.

Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is vacant.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the

control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spill-over and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spill-overs by always using a burner cap.
