SETTING THE

CONTROLS

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic re-ignition. If the burner flame should go out, the system will automatically spark to re-ignite the burner.

1.Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate finish, do not oper- ate the burners without a pan on the grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)

2.Push in knob and turn immediately coun- terclockwise to the desired setting.

•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected burner will light.)

OPERATING DURING A POWER FAILURE

1.Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.

2.Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the desired setting.

CAUTIONS:

•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.

•Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking during a power failure. The automatic re-ignition feature will not operate during a power failure.

Settings

 

Uses

Hi

 

Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a

 

 

 

pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when

 

 

 

 

 

 

liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Lo

Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter.

Some cooking may take place on the Lo setting if the pan is covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.
