Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.

Setting Surface Controls

To Adjust Low or "Simmer" Setting (some models)

The burner flame, at low setting, can be adjusted if it is too high or too low; refer to the installation instruction for adjustment procedure.

To Adjust Standing Pilot Model (some models)

Each burner lights automatically either an electric or a standing pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. To light the standing pilot, open gas supply shutoff valves, lift the cooktop from the front edge and hold a match near the pilot. Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off; because of that, the porcelain enamel cooktop can be hot even if burners are not used; refer to Installation Instructions for proper pilot adjustment. Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Note: One of the knobs shown above is similar to the knobs on your cooktop.

To operate the Surface Burner:

1.Place cooking utensil on burner.

2.Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3.Visually check that the burner has lit.

4.After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)

Electric Ignition Models (some models)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

CAUTION Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time

without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

CAUTION Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop 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.
