Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control.
The two knobs on the left control the left front and
left rear burners° The two knobs on the right control
the right front and right rear burners.
On ranges with sealed burners:
• The smaller burner (right rear position) wilt give
the best simmer results, It offers precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, such as sauces
or foods which need to cook over low heat for a
long time_ It can be turned down to a very low
simmer setting.
° The right front burner is higher powered than
the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
• On some models, the burners are all the same
size and power.
Before Lighting a Burner
° If drip pans are supplied with your range, they
should be used at all times.
• Make sure all grates on the range are in place before
using a burner,
To Light a Surface Burner
Hectric Ignition Models:
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. You will hear
a little "clicking" noise--the
sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner.
Standing Pilot Models:
Push the control knob in and turn it to HI position.
The burner should light within a few seconds.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first turned
on. A blowing sound may be heard the first few
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
sound will stop.
After Lighting a Burner
• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust
the flame.
• 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
rime 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.
