CONTROL KNOBS

The control knobs provided with this range are designed for ease of use and
longevity. The "D" shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation when
reinstalling the knob. Located beneath each knob is a bezel ring that mounts to the
range.

PLACEMENT OF BURNER GRATES

Place grates on the porcelain coated spill tray. See
Figure 4. Be sure they are located correctly inside the
stainless steel frame.

Do not slide the grates on the stainless steel frame.
Doing so can damage the surface.

FLAME ADJUSTMENT

For most cooking , start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining
proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used
and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will
be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as
the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans
with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame
simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the
flame.
