USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

wWARNING

Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Using the control knobs

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.

•Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.

•Push in the control knob and turn it counter- clockwise to the LIGHT position. The

clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.

• To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control

knob to the cook setting you want. You can set the control knob

anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

Using Rapid Boil

Rapid Boil is an adjustable setting for the left front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

Easy ways to save energy

•When heating large quantities of liquid for foods such as pasta or soup, cover with a lid to help shorten cooking time.

•Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
