For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

one to complete the process. Use the 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 nor cook properly.

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.

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.

Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing

pilot, depending on your model.  Standing pilots must be lit initaly.  Refer to

your installation instructions for instructions on lighting the standing pilot.

Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off.  Models with

electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the

LITE position.

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 Surface Control knob in

the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the

LITE 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.  DO NOT try to light the oven burner manually.

These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could

catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
