How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

WARNING

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.

You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the

electric spark igniting the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays

at LITE, it will continue to click.

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 other burners, particularly the right front position, are

higher powered and will bring liquids to a boil quicker,

especially with the use of a lid.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface

burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match

to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure

occurs will continue to operate normally.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION

SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The

flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware

you are using.

Any flame larger than

the bottom of the

cookware is wasted

and only serves to

heat the handle.
