30 OPERATION
• Make sure the burners and grates are cool
before touching them, or placing a pot holder,
cleaning cloth, or other materials on them.
NOTE
• Electric spark igniters from the burners cause a
clicking noise. All the spark igniters on the
cooktop will activate when igniting just one
burner.
Burner Locations
Your gas range cooktop has four or five sealed gas
burners, depending on the model. These can be
assembled and separated. Follow the guide below.
Medium and large burners
a
The medium and large 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.
Small burner
b
The smallest burner is used for delicate foods
such as sauces or foods that require low heat
for a long cooking time.
Dual burner
c
The dual burner is the maximum output
burner. Like the other four burners, it can be
turned down from Hi to Lo for a wide range of
cooking applications. This burner is also
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid to a boil. It can be used with cookware 10
inches or larger in diameter.
Oval burner
d
The center, oval burner is for use with a griddle
or oval pots.
Using the Gas Surface Burners
CAUTION
• Match the size of the cooktop burner or element
to the size of the cookware in use. Using a large
element for a small pan wastes heating energy,
and the exposed surface of the element is a burn
or fire hazard.
1
Be sure that all of the surface burners and
grates are placed in the correct positions.
2
Place cookware on the grate.
3
Push the control knob and turn to the LITE
position to light the burner.
NOTE
• The electric spark ignition system makes a
clicking noise.
4
Turn the control knob to control the flame
size.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner is on. All the
burners spark when any burner is turned to
LITE. An electric shock may result causing you to
knock over hot cookware.
