Before Lighting a Burner
if Drip pans are supplied with your range, they should
be used at all times..
, Make sure all grates on the range are in place before
using any burner.
Lighting Instructions
"Yoursurface burners are lighted by electronic ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilots with constantly
burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match
to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position..
Use extreme caution when lighting burners in this
manner.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally..
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. When
one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark°
Do not 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..
Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
located on the lower control panel (front manifold panel)
in front of the burners_
The two knobs on the left control the left front and left
rear burners.. The two knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
° The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results_ it offers precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or
foods which need to cook over tow heat for a long
time° It can be turned down to a very low simmer
setting.
The right front burner is higher powered than the
others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only),
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. You will hear a
little clicking noise--the sound
of the electric spark igniting
the burner,,
After Lighting a Burner
° After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size°
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use°
° Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time
without having 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°
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heal
When fast heating is desired, 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 and only serves to heat
the handle..
