Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
l
Burner flame should not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can
burn you and cause poor cooking results.
l
Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF
when you are not cooking. Someone could
be burned or a fire could stat-l if a burner is
accidentally left ON.
) 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 3. Failure to follow these precau-
tions could result in explosion or fire.
) Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result.
Using the surface burners
Control knobs must be pushed in, then turned to
the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignition
sparking.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,
turn the control knob back to a desired setting. The
control knob has stops for HI, medium and low,
however, it can be set anywhere between LOW
and OFF.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows
which surface burner is turned on by that knob.
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.
NOTE: All settings are marked on the sides of the
control knobs.
Use LITE to light the burner. After the burner
lights, turn control to a desired setting to stop the
clicking of the ignition.
Use HI to start foods 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 can be manually lighted. Hold a
lighted match near a burner and turn the control to
the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control to the desired setting.
