USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
BEFORE LIGHTING A GAS BURNER
•
Make sure all burners are in place.
•
Make sure all grates on the range are properly placed before using any burner.
AFTER LIGHTING A GAS BURNER
•
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The fi nish on the grate may
discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
•
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 LIGHT A GAS SURFACE BURNER
Push the control knob in and
turn it to the LITE position.
HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE
•
Watch the fl ame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When fast heating is desired, the fl ame size on a gas burner
should match the cookware you are using.
•
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating and may be hazardous.
TOP-OF-RANGE COOKWARE
•
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly
in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fi tting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
•
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
•
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
•
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
•
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools
very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
•
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or
other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with
medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE
•
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner
ports, then slowly turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
•
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
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 fl ame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
•
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.
Flames that are not covered by cookware may present a risk of burns or clothing
ignition. Never let fl ames extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
