THINGS COOKING
COOKTOP SPARK IGNITION — When you turn the
cooktop knob to LITE, the spark Igniters make a series
of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner,

IMPORTANT: Do not
leave the knob on
LITE after the burner
lights, or life of the
spark igniter may be
shortened.
Avoid leaving any burner on without a utensil. Doing so
can overheat the grate and cause the enamel finish to
become damaged.
A
As a safety precaution you should set
controls so flame heats pan bottom only
and does not lick pan sides. Flames licking
pan sides are unsafe and waste heat.
If a cooktop burner falls to lig ht wit hin five seconds, turn
the knob to OFF and wait five minutes before trying
again. If the burner still will not light, check the service
section in this manual.
Watch food when heating quickly on HI. As soon as the
food reaches cooking temperature, turn down the heat
to the lowest setting that will keep It cooking.
High flame may be used to boll large quantities quickly.
It is also used to start food cooking quickly In large pans.
Medium Flame may be used for even browning with little
spattering. It Is also used to maintain a boll with large
quantities of food.
Low Flame may be used for melting or warming food. It
Is also best for cooking small quantities of food.
A During burner use, the area of the
glass cooktop around the burners
could get hot.
During a power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may
be lit with a match by following the steps below.
A
Lighting gas burners with a match is
dangerous. You should match light
the cooktop burners only in an
emergency.
1. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you
want to light. Wooden matches woik best.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure
you are turning the correct knob for the burner you
are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not lightwithin four seconds,
turn the knob off and wait five minutes before
trying again.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok.
Flat-bottomed woks are available at your local retail
store.
Do not use woks which have support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may
damage the burner g rate and burner head. Also, placing
the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to
work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This could be dan­
gerous to your health. See the Safety Section of this
manual. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned If the wok tipped over.
