Cooking Utensils
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular
cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being
done. Any and all cooking utensils are suitable for use in the range and it
is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with
commercial cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any
cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive
dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FRONT BURNERS. THERE IS MORE
ROOM IN THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL CLEANUP OF REAR OF

Oven

Lighting the Burners
All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-
flame, “standing” pilots.
Using Your Range
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition
To light the surface burners, turn the appropriate control knob
counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an
electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “on” position with the
automatic reignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the
burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is
permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On
all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or
circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the
burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control
to any position to adjust the flame size.
Setting the proper height for the desired cooking process and selected
utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time
and energy.
