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.

Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select aburner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot, depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

Formost 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 flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the

WRONGfat is too hot, the food wil! brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown

nor cook properly.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higherfiame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your r sk of be ng burned by the fame.
