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 standing pilots.
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.
Push in control knobs and turn them to the
LITE position. Visually check that burner
has lit.
After the burner lights, turn the control knob
to the desired setting. You can set the control
knob anywhere between HI and LO.
Surface burner markers

which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
