Setting Surface Controls
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 (5k) is best suited for
simmering delicate sauces, etc.
•
Use middle oval burner (10k), left rear burner (9.5k), or
left front burner (15k) for most cooking needs.
•
The larger power burner at the front right (18k) is
recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities of
food.
IMPORTANT
•
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 two
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.
•
When operating the oven, it is possible for residual
heat from the oven to build-up and over time to even-
tually transfer to the surface control knobs located
directly above the oven door.
•
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and
energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the
gas flame.

CAUTION
•
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.
To set surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.
Be sure the cooking utensil sits stable on the burner
grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn coun-
terclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner is 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.
