Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be
lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn
knob counterclockwise
to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
REMEMBER:
When range is in use or (on some
models) during the Self=Cleaning cycle, the entire
cooktop area may become hot,
Electric igniters automatically
light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set Burner Temperature:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise
to LITE.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
"General Cleaning" section.
Gas tube opening:
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers
by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally
for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
