Using the surface burners
Push in
and turn
Your range is equipped with either
-
standing pilots or electronic ignitors.
;I
Standing pilots must be lit initially with
a match following the directions on page
5. 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. Electronic ignitors automatically
light the burners each time the control
knob is turned to LITE.
Control knobs must be pushed in,
then
turned to the LITE position. On
electronic ignitor models, the clicking
sound is the ignitor sparking.
After the burner lights, turn the control
knob back to a desired setting. The
control knob can be set anywhere
between HI and low setting.
Surface burner indicators
The solid dot in the surface burner
indicator shows which surface burner is
turned on by that knob.
Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide.
For best
results, start cooking at the high
settings, then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
Use LITE
to light the burner. After the
burner lights, turn control back to a
desired setting.
Use a high setting
to start food cooking;
to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium setting
to continue
cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes; for
gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large
amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting
to keep food warm
until ready to serve.
NOTE:
Do not cook with the control in
the LITE position.
In case
of
a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners with electronic ignitors
can be manually lighted. Hold a lit match
near a burner and slowly turn the control
knob on until the burner lights. After the
burner lights, turn the control knob to
the desired setting. Power failures will
not affect standing pilots.
Bum, Fire And Explosion Hazard
. Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame can bum you
and cause poor cooking results.
. Be sure all control knobs are
turned to OFF when you are not
cooking. Someone could be
burned or a fire could start if a
burner is accidentally left ON.
. If the flame should go out while
cooking, or if there is a strong gas
odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait
five minutes for the gas odor to
disappear, before relighting
burner. If gas odor is still present,
see safety note on page 2. Failure
to follow these precautions could
result in explosion or fire.
. Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.
Personal injury could result.
