Automatic Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need
In case of a power outage, you can light the burners with a match. Hold
a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. To
avoid burning you hand, use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when a~ electrical power failure occurs will continue
to operate normally.
To Light a Burner
Push the control knob in
and turn it counterclockwise
to LITE. You will hear a
"ticking" noise—the sound
igniting the burner.
After the burner ignites,
turn the knob to adjust the
burner off, turn the knob
clockwise as far as it will
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME
EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than
the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the
handle.

The left front and right rear burners are best for
smaller pans and cooking operations requiring
carefully controlled simmering conditions. The right
front and rear left burners are the high power
burners for larger pans and fast boiling operations.
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.
Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one
you want to use.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
