To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This
section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.
Using the surface burners
Your range is equipped with either standing
pilots or electric ignitors. Standing pilots
must be lit initially with a match following the
directions on page 11. The pilot light will
remain lit when the burners are turned off.
To turn a burner on again, just push in and
turn the control knob to LITE and the burner
will light. Electric ignitors automatically light
the burners each time the control knob is
turned to LITE.
Push in the control knob and turn
counterclockwise to the LITE position. On
electric ignitor models, the clicking sound is
the ignitor sparking. Visually check that
burner has lit.
After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting. You can set the
control knob anywhere between HI and LO.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker
shows which surface burner is turned on by
that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see next
page). If the heat setting is too high, it can:
l Char bacon and cause curling.
l Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
l Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
l Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
l Cause a boilover.
Push in and turn
