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
appliance 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 flame 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-flame
heating of small amounts of food.
• Large burners are best for bringing large
quantities 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.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to
the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the
burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame,
push the surface control knob in and turn
counterclockwise to the desired flame size
setting. Adjust the flame 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 specifically 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 flame size.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they
may permanently damage the appearance of the
cooktop.

CAUTION
Do not place flammable 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,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire 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 flame setting.
Use caution when lighting surface burners manu-
ally.
