Make sure all grates on the range are in
place before using any burner.
If your range has the Range Lock-Out
feature, make sure it is disabled before
attempting to light the surface burners.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
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.
After the flame lights, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at
LITE, it will continue to click.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and (flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applicationes.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner This burner
can be turned to LO for 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.
The medium (left rear) burner is the
primary burners for most cooking. These
general-purpose burners can be turned
from HI to LO to suit a wide range of
cooking needs.
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. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
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.
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 extra large burners (front) are
the maximum output burners. Like the
other burners, it can be turned from
HI to LOW for a wide range of cooking
applications, however, this burner is
designed to wuickly bring large amounts
of liquid to a boil. It has special POWER
BOIL setting designed to be used with
cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
