Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.

The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

On ranges with sealed burners:

•The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.

•The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

After Lighting a Burner

•Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
