Surface Cooking
Lighting Instructions
Your surface
burners
are lighted
by electric
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
burn-
ers in this manner.
Surface
burners
in use when an electrical
power fail-
ure occurs will continue
to operate
normally..
The
electrode
of the spark
igniter
is exposed_
When
one burner is turned to LITE, all the burn-
ers spark.
Do not disassemble
or clean around
any burner while ano[he= bume_ 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 control 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..
On ranges with sealed burners:
oThe 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 low 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 wilt 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.
o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use.
o 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..
o 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
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
and
only serves to heat the handle.
