To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.
Using the surface burners
Your range is equipped with either standing pilots or electric ignitors. Standing pilots must be lit initially with a match following the directions on page 11. The pilot light will remain lit when the
burners are turned off. To turn a burner on again, - just push in and turn the control knob to LITE
and the burner will light. Electric ignitors automati- cally light the burners each time the control knob is turned to LITE.
Push in control knobs and turn them to the LITE position. On electric ignitor models, the clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner has lit.
After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. You can set the control knob anywhere between HI and LO.
Surface burner markers
