SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes
increases as the burner size increases. Your gas ap-
pliance may be equipped with many different sized
surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared.
Select a burner and fl ame size appropriate for the
cookware size.
• The standard size burner or burners may be
used for most surface cooking needs.
• Small burners are best used for low-fl ame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
• Large burners are best for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid to temperature or heating larger
quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner
grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable
on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner's surface control knob in and
turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position
(Figure 5).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to
the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the
burner has a steady gas fl ame.
4. Once the surface burner has a fl ame, push the
surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust the
fl ame as needed using the knob markings.
IMPORTANT
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over
two different surface cooking areas at the
same time unless the cookware is specifi cally
designed for the purpose.
• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left
in the lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor
will continue to spark. Turn the control knob
out of the lite position and adjust the fl ame
size.
• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If items
melt, they may permanently damage the ap-
pearance of the cooktop

CAUTION
Do not place fl ammable items such as plastic
wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and
pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, tow-
els, or wooden spoons could catch fi re if placed
too close to the surface burners.

NOTE
• When setting a surface control knob to the lite
position, all of the electronic surface ignitors
will spark at the same time. However, only the
surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the
surface burners may 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. Once the burner ignites, push in
and turn knob out of lite then to the desired
fl ame setting. Use caution when lighting sur-
face burners manually.
