Gas Range Use and Care & Installation Guide

Before Lighting a Burner
● If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at all times.
c Make sure all grates on the range are in place before using any burner.
To Light a Surface Burner
Electric Ignition Models:
Push the control knob in and
I*A
turn it to LITE. You will hear
a little “clicking” noise—the
sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner.

After the burner ignites, turn the
I
knob to adjust the flame size.
Standing Pilot Model:
Push 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 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.
After Lighting a Burner
● 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.
