BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
LOCATIONS OF THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left front and rear positions on the cooktop.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
CHECK BURNER CAP PLACEMENT BEFORE OPERATING THE SURFACE BURNERS
To prevent
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations BEFORE operating the cooktop burners.
Remember:
•Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a surface burner.
•When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
•For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.
Round Style Burners
The burner cap lip (See Fig. 2) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer to Figs. 3 & 4 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 5) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to feel it. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
