Using Your Range

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 electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time they are used.

Push in control knob and turn counter- clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner has lit.

To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. The control knob has stops for HI, medium, and low. However, you can set the control knob anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface burner markers

The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
