Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first 
time the oven is used.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to 
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well 
ventilated room.

Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when 
control knobs are turned to LIGHT.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. 
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate 
is unoccupied.

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LIGHT.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the 
control knob turned to LIGHT will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the 

following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit 
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob 
counterclockwise to LIGHT. After burner lights, turn knob to 
setting.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and 
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and 
cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust 
removers.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a 
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition 
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover 
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the 
“General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube 
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of 
soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any 
other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from 
spillovers by always using a burner cap. 

¹⁄₂" (25-38 mm)

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size 
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not 
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, 
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
