Surface Controls

CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn
the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before relighting the
burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size and type of cookware,
type and amount of food and
BTU of the burner will
determine where
to set the knob for LOW
cooking
operations. Use the settings
printed around the knobs as a
guide. The following descriptions
will aid in choosing the type setting
that will gived optimum results:
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above 140° F
without continuing to cook. Food is heated on a higher flame
size until it reaches this temperature and then the flame size is
reduced. Never use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold
food. Be sure knob is adjusted to produce a stable flame. (Use
the LOW setting or the simmer burner located at the right rear
to keep food warm.)
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the surface.
Foods are between 185° F and 200° F. A simmer setting can
also be used to steam or poach foods or continue cooking
covered foods. (Adjust the knob between HIGH and LOW to
obtain the desired simmer action.)
Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow
boil setting can also be used for most frying and for
maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids. (Adjust
the knob between HIGH and LOW to obtain the desired boil
action.)
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry,
saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting.
The HIGH setting is always used to bring liquids to a boil.
Once the liquid boils, always reduce the flame size to the
lowest setting that will maintain the boil action. (Turn the knob
to HIGH then adjust the flame size to fit the size of the pan.)

Pilotless Ignition

Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing pilot
light. Each surface burner has a
spark ignitor. Use care when
cleaning around the surface
burner.
If the surface burner does not
light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.
Surface Control
Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat
settings is available from LOW to HIGH. The knobs can be
set on or between any of the settings.
Graphics next to the knob identify which burner the
knob controls. For example, the graphic at left shows
the right front burner location.
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
•
The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from
the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LITE
setting.
•
A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned to the LITE position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
•
The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is
turned past the LITE position.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Operating During a
Power Failure
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. When the burner lights, adjust the flame to the desired level.
