Using the surface burners
Surface burner
indicators
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
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. Electric ignitors automatically light
the burners each time the control knob is
turned to LITE.
The solid dot in the surface burner
indicator shows which surface burner is
turned on by that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct heat settings (see below). If
the heat setting is too high, it can:
. Char bacon and cause curling.
. Make eggs tough and crisp at the
edges.
Push in
and turn
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 back to a desired setting. The
control knob can be set anywhere
between HI and low setting. Do not cook
with the control in the LITE position.
1 Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
1 Scorch delicate sauces and
custards.
. Cause a boilover.
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 electric ignit.ors 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.
Burn, Fire And Explosion Hazard
1 Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame can burn 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.
1 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.
