SETTING SURFACE BURNERS
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 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.
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.
3.  Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position 
(see figures 1 & 2). Note: All four 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 flame.
5.  Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the 
desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to 
be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator 
settings to adjust the flame 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.)

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 fire if placed too close to a 
flame.
caution
Do not operate the burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The finish 
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the 
heat.
*Flame Size
Type of Cooking
High Flame 
(Hi)
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; 
pan broiling.
Medium Flame 
(Med)
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, 
gravies; steaming.
Low Flame 
(Lo)
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
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 flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A 
good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-
lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and 
sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

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 flame size for various types 
of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the 
amount of food being cooked will influence the setting 
needed.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the 
surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the 
food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too 
hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be 
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much 
food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook 
properly.
