Cooktop Safety Guidelines Oven Burner Use / Oven Safety Guidelines
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will
spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another
burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters
are sparking.
Simmer and Boil
A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking perfor-
mance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking
that needs to cook over low heat for a long time.
The highest flame settings provides the maximum heat that is available on your range. This
setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta cooking.
Flame Size
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.The flame should be steady and
blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial oper-
ation.
Ignition Failure
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five min-
utes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe
up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cooktop and are designed to be re-
moved. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be
cleaned after each use.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates
may result in scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
Oven burner use
To light the oven burner, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clock-
wise to the (150 degrees Fahrenheit - 500 degrees Fahrenheit) position. You will
hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once
burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to adjust the
desired heat setting.
Broil burner use
To light the broiler burner, push and turn the appropriate control knob clockwise to
the broil position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark ig-
niting the burner. Keep pressing about 4 seconds until the burner ignition has been
achieved.
Oven Safety Guidelines
✓ Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is im-
portant that the flow of warm air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner
never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during
oven or broiler operation because they are hot.
✓ Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
✓ Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven.
The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire.
