Setting surface burners

Fig. 1

Do not place flammable items such as

plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items

could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons

could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY

material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these

items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop

surface.
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized

surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in

larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It

is important to select cookware that is suitable for the

amount and type of food being prepared.

The smaller simmer burner (on some models) is best

suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface

cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center

burner.
The larger power burners (on some models) or Ultra

Power burner (on some models) are recommended for

bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and

when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner

grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the

burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the

LITE position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in

and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.

Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as

needed.

Important notes:

DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in

the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE

position .

When setting any surface control knob to the LITE

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the

same time. However, only the surface burner you are

setting will ignite.

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking areas at the same time.

This can cause uneven heating results.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

surface burners 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 push in

and turn knob to desired setting.
