Setting Surface Controls

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.

Setting Surface Controls

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

The simmer burner (if equipped) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.

The Power burners (ifeq uipped) are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

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.
