Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with electric
ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically
light the burners each time they are
used.
Control knobs must be pushed in
and turned to the LITE position. The
clicking sound is the ignition sparking.
Visually check that burner has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the
burner lights, turn the control knob
back to a desired setting.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner
marker shows which surface burner is
turned on by that knob.
Burner heat settings
Until you get used to the settings,
use the following as a guide. For
best results, start cooking at the high
settings: then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
Use UTE to light the burner. After
the burner lights, turn control back to a
desired setting to stop the clicking of
the ignition.
Use HI to start foods cooking: to
bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium setting to continue
cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes;
for gravy, pudding and icing; to cook
large amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting to keep food
warm until ready to serve.
NOTE: Do not cook with the control in
the LITE position.
Use correct burner heat settings. If the
heat setting is too high, it can:
l
Char bacon and cause curling.
l
Make eggs tough and crisp at the
edges.
l
Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
l
Scorch delicate sauces and cus-
tards.
l
Cause a boilover.
