Operating the Gas Surface Burner Controls:

1.Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

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

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

4.Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5.Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to 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.)

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.

Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 4 different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.

The smaller SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

The STANDARD size burner can be used for most surface cooking needs. This burner is located at the left front burner position on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

The larger 2 POWER and POWER PLUS™ burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The two POWER and POWER PLUS™ Burners are located at the left rear and right front burner (See positions on the cooktop as shown in Fig. 1).
