SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls

The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Use the smaller simmer burner (some models) when simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The larger quick boil (some models) burner or burners are best when used to bring large quantities of liquid to temperature or when heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

1.Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.

2.Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3.Release the surface control knob and rotate to the lite position. Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.

4.Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Use the knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

CAUTION

Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

IMPORTANT

•DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark. Turn control knob out of lite position and adjust the flame size.

•Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt the they may permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop.

NOTES

•When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

•In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may 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. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.

•Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

•Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

•Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

•When using two canners at the same time, stagger the canners on the burners. This will allow for better air flow to the burners. Do not block air to the burners.

•NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause uneven heating results.
