Before Lighting a Gas Burner

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
On Ranges with Sealed Gas Burners
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned down to a very low simmer
setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for
a long cooking time.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
s
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.
s
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials
on them.
When one burner is turned to LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
The medium (left rear and left front) and
the large (right front) burners are the
primary burners for most cooking. These
general-purpose burners can be turned
down from HI to LO to suit a wide range
of cooking needs.
NOTE: On some models, the burners are all the
same size and power.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
