Surface Cooking
•Operating Gas Surface Burners
•Setting Proper Burner Flame Size Operating Triple Ring Burner
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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.
Operating the Gas Surface Burners:
1.Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2.Push the knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Fig. 1).
3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4.Visually check that the burner has lit.
5.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position (The electronic ignitor
will continue to spark if the knob is left in the MTE position). | Fig. 1 |

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
High Flame | Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. |
Medium Flame | Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming. |
Low Flame | Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing. |
Always select cookware 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.

Triple Ring Burner (some models):
The versatile Triple Ring Burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner location. At the lowest setting, only the inner ring is active, providing a low flame for any simmering needs. If needed however, two additional gas rings may be added quickly to provide a "Power Burner" output of 16,000 BTU. When set at the highest, the Triple Ring may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Triple Ring Burner:
1.Push the right front surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Fig. 1).
2.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Fig. 1). Note: Although all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time, only the selected surface Burner will lite.
3.Visually check that the inner ring of the right front Burner has lit.
4.Continue to rotate the gas control knob clockwise past the first LO setting to the arrow marked TRIPLE.
5.Visually check that both the inner and outer ring of the Triple Ring Burner are lit.
6.When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners together. Note: The markings between the 2rid HI and LO settings on the left rear control knob adjust the flame size for both burners. Use the guide marks between the 2rid HI and LO settings and adjust the flame size as needed (Refer to Fig. 3).
