SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls

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

The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size (9,000 BTU) burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.

The larger quick boil burner or burners (some models) are best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the

 

amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner

 

and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

Setting a surface burner

1.Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Make sure the cooking untensil is centered and stable on the grate.

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

3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the gas burner has lit.

4.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

CAUTION

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

NOTES

DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the control knob is left in the LITE position.

When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

IMPORTANT

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permantely damage the cooktop surface.

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.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for canning procedures.

Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting surface controls section).

Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
