Surface Cooking
Stainless Steel Range
Control knobs
The control knobs are in front of the burner
they control. The oven controls are placed slightly lower than the surface burner control knobs.
The surface burners have an infinite number of heat settings as there are no fixed positions between HI and LO.
To turn ON a surface burner, push the control in, then turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position.
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
You will hear the ignitor click. When the gas is ignited all around the burner and into the central simmer burner below the simmer cap, turn the knob back to the desired setting.
When using the simmer burner, always ensure that it lights from the main burner.
Push the control in and turn it counterclockwise
to the LITE position.

The center, smaller cap covers and protects the simmer burner from boilovers that could put the flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer burner heat out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the pan.
The simmer burner is always on when the burner is in use. The burner should never be operated if the simmer cap is not in place.
The outer cap /port ring constitute the main burner and are in operation between the HI and LO settings.
Outer cap/port ring
The burners have electronic spark ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the outer cap/port ring is on and the flame is blown out, it will relight. The burners are rated at 15,000 BTU around the outer cap/port ring. When turned to the simmer setting, only the center
of the burner is lit, and it is rated at 500 BTU.
