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.
3.  Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position 
(see fi gures 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 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.)

Setting proper surface burner fl ame 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.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, 
gravies; steaming.
Low Flame
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 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.
