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.

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1.Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

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

3.Release the knob and rotate to the MTE position. Note: Although all four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

4.Visually check that the burner has lit.

5.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 setting. 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 spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most 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.

Improper flame size

*Flame

Size

Type of Cooking

 

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water

to a boil; pan broiling.

Medium

Flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken

sauces, gravies; steaming.

Low Flame

Keep foods cooking; poach;

stewing.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a weNighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

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.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Fig. 2).

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 fat is too hot, the food will 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.
