How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Electric Ignition Models:
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.
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 is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Standing Pilot Models:
Push control knob in and turn it to HI
position. The burner should light within
a few seconds.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will
lift slightly away from the burner when
the burner is first turned on. A blowing
or hissing sound may be heard for
30–60 seconds. This normal sound is due
to improved injection of gas and air into
the burner. Put a pan on the burner before
lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan
size as soon as it lights, and the blowing or
hissing sound will be much less noticeable.
Push the control knob in and turn
it to the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or HI (on standing
pilot models).

Before Lighting a Gas Burner After Lighting a Gas Burner
If 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.
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.
On Ranges with Sealed Gas Burners
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.
The medium (left rear and left front) and
the large (right 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.
