Setting surface controls
Your cooktop may be equipped with any
combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate
sauces, etc. Standard Burner: used for most
all surface cooking needs. Large Burner: best
used when bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities
of food. Regardless of size, always select a utensil
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. Your
cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation flame
control valves. These valves provide enhanced
control of the burner flame. Each burner lights
automatically from an electric ignitor when its
control knob is turned to the LITE position.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to
(LITE). For dual flame burner, make sure to
keep the knob setting between the two
until the outer ring burner is lit. Note: All electronic
ignitors will click at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular
mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as
needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control
knob in the
position. (The electronic ignitor will
continue to click if left in the
premature wear.)
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
lighting surface burners manually.
The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean
cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop
surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If
the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display
will show "SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will
remain locked until the oven has cooled down below
cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning
temperature, the user can start another clean cycle
immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature
range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the
door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
Setting Surface Controls
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the cooktop 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.
Using the griddle
A griddle is intended for direct food cooking. Do
not place other pans or cookware on the griddle.
Place griddles on top of the grates so flames will be
centered.

Always use potholders to remove the griddle
from the grate. Allow the griddle to cool
before removing. Do not set hot griddle on
surfaces that cannot withstand high heat;
such as countertops.
Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly
and stable before use to prevent hot spills
and possible burns.
Do not straddle cookware between two
cooking areas unless the cookware was
designed for that purpose, such as a griddle.
