Operating the gas surface controls CAUTION Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop. Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface. To set surface burners: 1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate. 2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position. 3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner is lit. 4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed. SETTING SURFACE BURNERS IMPORTANT Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position. When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite. Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results. In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above the oven door. Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.
