Using the cooktop burners.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Safety
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
How to Light a Burner
Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.
Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to the OFF position.
■Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use.
■In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
■Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
■Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Never let the flame extend up the sides of the cookware.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
For safe handling of cookware never let the flame extend up the sides of the cookware.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Do not use a wok on any other support ring. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.
This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware: those for oven use only and those for cooktop cooking (saucepans, coffee and tea pots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking.
It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
