Surface Cooking 17
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner: 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.
Your cooktop is also equipped with 300° rotation flame control valves. These valves provide enhanced control of the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an electric igniter when its control knob is turned to the LITE position.
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop 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.
