Never extend the flame
beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and
increases your risk of being
burned by the flame.

Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use a chart 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 cooking.
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 or cook properly.
*Flame size
Type of Cooking
High Flame
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam.
Low Flame
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Proper Burner Adjustments
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 sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner,
see instructions under General Cleaning.
The surface control knob shown below
may not look identical to the Surface
Control Knobs on your range; They are
only representational.

Operating the Gas Surface Controls
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All  electronic
ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning
on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and
adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE
position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE
position.)
5. To turn the burner off, turn the control knob as far as it ill go, to the OFF
position.
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. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.
 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.
 Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top
of the cooktop 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.
