SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface 
burners can be lit 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 turn the 
knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface 
burners manually.
IMPORTANT
Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the 
utensil. A higher fl ame simply wastes heat and energy, and 
increases the risk of being burned by the gas fl ame.
OPERATING THE GAS SURFACE CONTROLS
1.  Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn 
counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

SETTING PROPER SURFACE BURNER 
FLAME SIZE
For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and 
then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the 
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper 
fl ame size for various types of cooking. The size and type 
of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will 
infl uence the setting needed.
Incorrect
Correct
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper 
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on 
top of the range when it is in use. These items could 
melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could 
catch fi re if placed too close to a fl ame.
CAUTION
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of 
time without cookware on the grate. The fi nish on the 
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
*Flame Size
Type of Cooking
High Flame
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; 
pan broiling.

gravies; steaming.
Low Flame

NOTE
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight 
metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when 
using other types of pans. The color of the fl ame is 
the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame  is 
clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each 
cone of fl ame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner 
if fl ame is yellow-orange.
3.  Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: 
All fi ve electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same 
time. However, only the burner you are turning on will 
ignite.
4.  Visually check that the burner has a fl ame.
5.  Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired 
fl ame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at 
a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to 
adjust the fl ame as needed. DO NOT cook with the 
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic 
ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the 
LITE position.)
