Operation of Open-Burner Sections
Each 12"-wide or 16"-wide section has two control knobs.
The left knob controls the rear burner, while the right knob
controls the front burner. Each knob can be turned to OFF or
to any position in the range from LOW to HIGH.
To start cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to HIGH.
Visually check that the burner ignites. The gas does NOT
automatically shut off if the burner does not ignite! If the
burner does not ignite, check and/or light the pilots (see
procedure at right). When the burner is hot, the burner flame
should appear blue and steady (some slight yellowing of the
flame tips may occur when using propane gas).
While cooking, do not allow excessive drippings and/or
debris to accumulate on or below the burners. When
necessary, pull out and clean the drippings tray.
When done cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to
OFF. (The pilot should remain lit).
Each burner has a pilot located beside the burner. To light a
pilot, do the following:
1. Check that the burner control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Check that the pilot is in the correct position beside the
burner.
3. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not
already on).
4. Light the pilot with a match or a pilot-lighting device. The
pilot flame should be blue and steady.
