How to Light a Gas Surface Burner
Make sure all the surface burners are
placed in their respective positions.

Push the control knob in and turn it to 
the LITE position.

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.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all 
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner
while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you 
to knock over hot cookware.

Push the control knob in and turn it
to the LITE position.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware. 

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. When fast heating is desired,
the flame size on a gas burner should
match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating 
of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Before Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Make sure all burners are in place.
■ Make sure all grates on the range are

properly placed before using any burner.

■ If your range has the Gas/Control

Lockout feature, make sure it is disabled
before attempting to light the surface
burners.

After Lighting a Gas Burner
■ Do not operate the 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.

Sealed Gas Burners

Your gas range cooktop has five sealed 
gas burners. They offer convenience,
cleanability and flexibility to be used in 
a wide range of cooking applications.

The smallest burner in the right rear
position is the simmer burner. This burner
can be turned down to LO for a very low
simmer setting. It provides precise cooking
performance for delicate foods such as
sauces or foods that require low heat for a
long cooking time.

The medium (left rear) and the extra large 
(left front) burners are the primary burners
for most cooking. These general-purpose
burners can be turned down from HI to LO
to suit a wide range of cooking needs. The
extra large (left front) burner also has a
special POWER BOIL™ setting designed to be
used with cookware 10 inches or larger in
diameter.

The dual flame extra large burner (right
front) is the maximum output burner. Like
the other four burners, it can be turned
down from HI to LO for a wide range of
cooking applications; however, this burner is
designed to quickly bring large amounts of
liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™
setting designed to be used with cookware
10 inches or larger in diameter.

The center oval burner is the largest in 
size and is for large oval pots/pans, round
pots/pans 10” or greater in diameter or
with the griddle.
