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 electric ignitors.
Electric ignitors automatically light the burners
each time they are used.
Push in control knob and turn counterclock-
wise to the LITE position. The clicking sound is
the ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner
has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner
lights, turn the control knob to the desired cook
setting. The control knob has 6 cook settings.
However, you can set the control knob any-
where between HI and OFF.
Push in and turn
counterclockwise
NOTE: All the electric ignitors will click at the
same time. However, the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows
which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see next page).
If the heat setting is too high, it can:
• Char bacon and cause curling.
• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.
• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
• Cause a boilover.
