AutomaticIgnition
Yoursurfaceburners are lighted
byelectric ignition,eliminatingthe
need forstandingpilotlightswith
constantlyburning flames.
In case ofa power outage, youcan
lightthe surfaceburners on your
rangewith a match. Hold a lighted
matchtothe burner, then tur~the
knobto the LITE position. CJse
extreme caution when lighting
burnem this way.
Surfaceburners in use whenan
electricalpower failureoccurswi.
continueto operate normally.
surface Burner Controk
1
Knobsthatturn the surfaceburners
on and off are located on thelower
controlpanei and are marked as to
which burners theycontrol.
To Light a surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn
it to LITE. Youwill hear a little
clicking noise—thesound ofthe
electric spark igniting the burner.
I
After theburner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size.
NorRnalb~~rneroperation:
Whena burneris firstturnedon,
youmayhear a blowingor hissing
soundfor30 to45 secondsor until
theburner heatsup.This normal
soundisdue to improvedinjection
ofgasandair intotheburner. Put a
Panon theburner beforelightingit,
.
or adjusttheflametomatch pan-

burner when the burner is first
turned on. A blowing or hissing
sound may be heard.
Flame willstabilize and curve
upwar~ after a burner heats up or
30 to 45 seconds after it is turned
on. The biowing or hissing sound
will stop.
After lighting a burner:
@Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is theoneyouwantto use.
~Do notoperate a burner for an
extendedperiod oftime 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 beforeyou place your hand, a
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them.
The flamesizeona gasburner
shouldmatch thecookwareyou
are using.
NEVER LET THE FLAME
EXTEND UP THE SIDESOF THE
COONARE. Anyflamelargerthan
thebottomofthecookwareiswasted
andordyservesto heatthehandles.
When using aluminum or
aluminum-clad stiinless steel
poti and pans, adjustthe flame so
the circle it makes isabout 1/2inch
smallerthan thebottomofthe
cookware.
Whenboiling9usethis same flame
size—1/2inch smaller than the
bottomofthe coolcware—nomatter
whatthecookwareismade of. Foods
cookjust as quicklyat a gentleboil
as theydo at a furious rollingboil.
A high boil creates steamand cooks
awaymoisture, flavorand nutrition.
Avoiditexcept forthe fewcooking
processeswhichned avigorousboil.
When frying or warming foods
in sminless stee19cast iron or
ename~ware, keep the flame down
lower—toabout 1/2the diameter
of the pan.
When frying in gIass or ceramic
eoohme, lowertheflameevenmore.

Beforecleaninganypart ofyour
range (exceptfor operatingthe self-
cleaningcycle),DISCOmCT
ELECTNC POWER To THE
RANGE at the fuseboxor circuit
breaker panel, or pull therange
powercord plug f~omtheele~tric

When therange is cool, washthe
enamel finish with mild soap and
water or amild abrasivecleanser
appliedwith a damp cloth. Rinse
the surface with clean water and
dry with a softcloth. If you wish,
occasionallyapply a thin coat of
mild cleaning waxto help protect
the finish.
There are a number ofprecautions
youcan taketo avoidmarring the
surface ofthe range and to prevent
it from becoming dull. Don’tslide
heavypans across it. If you spill
foodswith a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or
foodswith high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowedto remain, these foods
could cause a dull spot. Also, no
matter how stubborn the food stain,
never use harsh abrasive cleansers.
They could permanently damage
the enamel surface.

Gratesshouldbe washed regularly
and, ofcourse, after spillovers.
Washthem in hot, soapywater and

grateswith a clot~—don’tput them

Toget rid of burned-on food, soak
the gratesin a slightlydiluted
liquid cleanser.
Althoughthey’redurable, tl~e
grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardlessof the bestcare
youcan give them. This isdue to
their continualexposure to high
temperatures,
Do notoperate a burner for an
extendedperiod of time without

Do not attempt to clean burners in
