Sealed Surface Burner
Models - Setting
Surface Controls
The surface control knob shown below may not look identical to the surface control knobs on your range; it is only representational.
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. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
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 push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
Your range may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: Simmer Burner, this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. Standard Burner, can be used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil 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.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.
To operate the surface burner:
1.Place cooking utensil on burner.
2.Push the Surface Control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four 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.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise 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 Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)
Placement of Burner Caps and Trim Rings or Burner Pans (if equipped)
1.Place the trim rings or burner pan over each burner, matching the ring size with the burner size.
2.Place the burner cap on each burner, again matching the cap size to the burner size. The caps for the Standard Burner and Power Burners have locating tabs that align with slots in the burner base. The cap for the Simmer Burner has an inner locating ring which locates the burner cap in the center of the burner.
4.Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
5.Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
