Before Lighting a Gas Burner

Make sure all burners are in place.
s
Make sure all grates on the range are
properly placed before using any burner.
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.
Push the control knob in and turn it to
the LITE position.
You will hear a little clicking noise—
the sound of the electric spark igniting
the burner.
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue
to click.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in
a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned down to LO for a very low
simmer setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for a
long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large (left
front) burners are the primary burners for
most cooking. These general-purpose
burners can be turned down from HI to LO
to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
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. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.
After Lighting a Gas Burner
s
Do not operate the 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.
s
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on
them.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
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.
The extra large burner (right front) is the
maximum output burner. Like the other
three burners, it can be turned down from
HI to LO for a wide range of cooking
applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL
setting designed to be used with cookware
10 inches or larger in diameter.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating of
the cookware and could be hazardous.
