How to Light a Burner
Your cooktop burners are lit by electric
ignition, eliminating the need for
standing pilot lights with constantly
burning flames.
The igniters make clicking sounds and
spark even when only a single burner is
being turned on. Do not touch any of
the burners when the igniters are
clicking.
Push the control knob in and turn it
counterclockwise to the desired position
from
HIGH
to
LO
. After the burner ignites,
turn the knob in either direction to adjust
the flame size. To turn a burner off, turn
the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to
the
OFF
position.
■
In case of a power failure, you can light the
burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the
burner, then push in and turn the control knob
to the HIGH position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way. Burners in use
when an electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
■
Do not operate a 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.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.
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.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
Simmer and Power Burners
The right rear burner is best for smaller
pans and cooking operations requiring
carefully controlled simmering
conditions.
The front right burner is the high power
burner for larger pans and fast boiling
operations.
