Setting Surface Burners - Frigidaire FPGH3077RFA Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT
• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE
position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually. To light a surface burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn
the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights
push in and turn knob to desired setting.
• When operating the oven, it is possible for residual
heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even-
tually transfer to the surface control knobs located
directly above the oven door.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to the range
cooktop.
• Do not place aluminum foil or any material that can
melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they
may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

SETTING SURFACE BURNERS

Operating the gas surface controls
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see
figure 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will
spark at the same time. However, only the burner you
are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired
flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a
particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to
adjust the flame as needed. Do not cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The elec-
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)
Figure 2: Operating the gas knob
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the knob to
desired setting.
CAUTION
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate
may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
