SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Operating the gas surface controls

1.Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2.Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position

(see fi gures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

4.Visually check that the burner has a fl ame.

5.Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired fl ame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust the fl ame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a fl ame.

CAUTION

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The fi nish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

IMPORTANT

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. After burner lights turn the knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Setting proper surface burner flame size

For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper fl ame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will infl uence the setting needed.

*Flame Size

Type of Cooking

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

 

 

pan broiling.

Medium Flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,

 

 

gravies; steaming.

Low Flame

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

IMPORTANT

Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas

fl ame.

NOTE

*Note: Settings are based on using medium- weight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color

of the fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well- lighted room. Each cone of fl ame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if fl ame is yellow-orange.
