38 OPERATION
3 Push the control knob in and turn to the LITE
position to light the burner.
NOTE
• The electric spark ignition system makes a
clicking noise.
4 Turn the control knob to control the flame
size.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner is on. All the
spark igniters on the cooktop will activate when
igniting just one burner. An electric shock may
result causing you to knock over hot cookware.
Setting the Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
Match the flame size on a gas burner to the
cookware being used for fastest heating.
CAUTION
• Never let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware.
NOTE
• The flames on the surface burners may burn
yellow in the presence of high humidity, such as
a rainy day or a nearby humidifier.
• After LP gas conversion, flames can be bigger
than normal when you put a pot on the surface
burner.
Using the Proper Cookware
• Aluminum
- Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most
foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.
Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when
cooking with minimum amounts of water.
• Cast-Iron
- If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
• Stainless Steel
- This metal alone has poor heating properties
and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium
heat as the manufacturer recommends.
• Enamelware
- Under some conditions, the enamel of this
cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking
methods.
•Glass
- There are two types of glass cookware, those
for oven use only and those for top-of-range
cooking.
• Heatproof Glass Ceramic
- Can be used for either surface or oven
cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools
very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
NOTE
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of
food being cooked to save energy when heating.
Heating 1/2 quart of water requires more energy
in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
