Gas Burner Component

To light a
burner
1. The gas burner controls must turn
counterclockwise to the LITE position to
ignite the burner. The burner ignites
automatically.
2. Once the burner is ignited, turn the control
knob counterclockwise to adjust the flame
lower. A sparking sound caused by the igniter
is normal until ignition occurs.
3. The burners will relight at any setting.
However, for the burners to light quickly and
consistently when the gas is turned on, the
knobs should be turned to the LITE position
until ignition occurs.
4. To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise
as far as it will go, to the off (O) position.
• The front burner is best for smaller pans and
cooking operations requiring carefully
controlled simmering conditions. The rear
burner is the high power burner for larger
pans and fast boiling operations.
• 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 turned 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.
Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the
desired position.
Turn the knob either direction to adjust the flame size.
How to
select flame
size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat
the handle.
