After Lighting a Burner

■

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of 
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the 
grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb 
the heat.

■

Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while 
another burner is on. An electric shock may result, 
which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

■

Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you 
place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on 
them.

How to Light a 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.

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.

Use of the Surface Burners

Your gas rangetop has sealed gas burners. They offer 
convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range 
of cooking applications.

The 

smallest

 burner is the simmer burner. On some 

models, the center burner of the triple flame burner 
provides an additional 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.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When 
rapid heating is desired, the flame size on a burner 
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.

Push the control knob in and 

turn it to the LITE position.
