To Light a Surface Burner
Electric Ignition Models:
Push the control knob in
and turn it to LITE. You
will hear a little ÔÔclickingÕÕ
noiseÑthe sound of the
electric spark igniting the
burner.
Standing Pilot Models:
Push control knob in and turn it to HI position. The
burner should light within a few seconds.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be
heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is due
to improved injection of gas and air into the burner.
Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the
flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the
blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable.
Surface Cooking
After Lighting a Burner
¥ After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
¥ Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
¥ Do not operate a burner for an extended 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 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.
