In the event of a power failure. the oven is inoperable and no attempt should be made to operate it. However. the surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution. hold a lit match near the ports beneath
the surface burner cap. then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit. surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Lighting a Surface Burner
Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner. Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
You will hear a clicking noise— the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE. all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited. turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.
The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a
POWER BOIL setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.
Types of Surface Burners



Multi-Ring Burner (some models)
For large cookware, activate all rings by setting set the burner between Hi and Med.

For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim.

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 fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
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 or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give Satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions. the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the 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 the cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly. resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Fire Hazard
Using Your Cast Iron Griddle
The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for food normally grilled.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats. pancakes and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use. rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
Griddle Precautions
Positioning Your Griddle
The cast-iron griddle can only be used over the center burner(s) of the rangetop. To position the griddle. remove the center grate (if present). and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner(s) until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.
Preheating Your Griddle
For models with a non-reversible griddle. preheat your griddle by setting both center burners to 4 for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. For models with a reversible griddle. preheat your griddle by setting your center burner to Hi for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated. turn the knob on the burner(s) to the cook setting outlined in the table.
