Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Make sure all burners are in place.
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
If your range has the Gas/Control Lockout
feature, make sure it is disabled before
attempting to light the surface burners.
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.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the LITE position.

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 applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position
is the simmer burner. On some models, the
right front position triple flame burner will be
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to SIM 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) and the large (left
front) 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.
The extra large burner (right front, triple flame
burner, or left front burner on some models) are
the maximum output burners. Likethe other
four burners, it can be turned down from Ill to
SIM for a wide range of cooking applications.
These burners are designed to quickly bring
large amounts of liquid to a boil. They have
a special POWER BOIL
