1. Push to turn knob left to LITE.
2. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the knob on LITE after the
burner lights,orthe lifeof the spark igniter may be shortened.
If a cooktop burner fails to light within five seconds, turn the
knob to OFF and wait one minute before trying again.
If the burner still will not light, check the service section in this
manual.
Watch foods when heating them quickly on HI. As soon as
the food reaches cooking temperature, turn down the heat to
the lowest setting that will keep it cooking.
,_ As a safety precaution you should set
controls so flame heats pan bottom only
and does not lick pan sides. Flames lick-
ing pan sides are unsafe and waste heat.
Cook with a minimum amount of water and use a pan with a
tightty fitting lid.
THE 12,000 BTU BURNER
Some models have a cone-shaped cooktop burner, with a
circular opening through the center of the burner, at the right
front. This burner can provide 30% more power than the
other three. Use it for cooking large amounts of lood in a big
pan, canning, etc.
BURNER IGNITION
COOKTIP SPARK IGNITION --When you turn the cooktop
knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric
sparks (ticking sounds) which light the bumer.
During a power failu re the burners will not light automatically.
In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match
by following the steps below.
Lighting gas burners with a match is
dangerous. You should match light the
cooktop burners only In an emergency.
1. Light a match and holdthe flame near the burner you want
to light. Wooden matches work best.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are
turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within five
seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute
before trying again.
OVEN GLOW BAR IGNITION -- When you turn the Lower
Oven Control on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When
the igniter is hot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into
the burner and is ignited.
The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and
off with the thermostat and will glow whenever the burner is
on.
,_ During a power failurethe burner cannot
be lit and you should not try to do so.
Be sure that the cooktop and oven burners are adjusted
properly. See the installation section for information. See
the cleaning section for information on cleaning coektop
burners.
A clean, properly adjusted burner will light faster, use less
gas and give better cooking results.
OVEN VENT
When the oven is on, heated air is vented through a vent in
the panel behind the cooktop. On the cooktop, this hot air
may make pot handles hot or melt plastic items left too near
the vent.
The vent is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. Do not block this vent. Doing so
may cause cooking failure, fire or damage to the range.
