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
Do not operate the burner for an extended
n
period of time without 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
n
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.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
