Using Your Cooktop
Gas Cooktop
Electric
ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning flames.
All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
igniters are clicking.
All of the burner igniters spark while o burner is
relighting.
In case of o power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner; then turn the
knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
To light a
burner
Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the LITEposition.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either
direction to adjust the flame size from HI to LO.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as
far as it will go, to the OFF position.
• All of the burners can be used for general
cooking.
The front right burner is the maximum output
burner best for larger pans and to bring liquids
to a boil faster.
The smaller burners (center and right rear) will
give the best simmer results. They offer precise
cooking performance for delicate foods, such
as sauces or foods which need to cook over low
heat for a long time. They can be turned down
to a very low simmer setting.
• Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The
finish on the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before
you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning
cloths or other materials on them.
• Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when
you finish cooking.
How to
select
flame size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should be
approximately the same diameter of the
cookware you are using.
FOR SAFEHANDLING OF COOKWARE,NEVER
LETTHE FLAME EXTENDUPTHE SIDESOF THE
COOKWARE. A ny flame larger than the bottom of
the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.
