Using the gas surface burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Before Lighting a Gas Burner
Drip pans are supplied with your range; they
should be used at all times.
Make sure all burners are in place.
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
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.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience and
flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking
applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position is
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned
down to 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.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the
knob stays at LITE,it will continue to click.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the
burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble
or clean around any burner while another
burner ison. An electric shock may result,which
could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
The medium (leftrear and, on some models, left
front) and the large (right front and, on some
models, 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.
NOTE:On some models, the burners are all the
same size and power.
On some models
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. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
Flameslarger than the bottom of the cookware
will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
