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 | Push in and turn |
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 automatically light the burners each time the control knob is turned to LITE.
Control knobs must be pushed in and turned to the LITE position. On electric ignitor models, the clicking sound is the ignitor sparking.
After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. The control knob can be set anywhere between HI and LO.
