Setting Surface Controls
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 figure 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.)
Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 3 or 4
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and
in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop (see figure 1).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. This burner is located at the left front position
on the cooktop (see figure 1).
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing
larger quantities of food. The POWER burners are located at
the left rear and right front burner positions on the cooktop
(see figure 1).
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
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. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire
if placed too close to a flame.
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.
