Surface Burner Controls
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.
The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.
On ranges with sealed burners:
•The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.
•The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

After Lighting a Burner
•After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
•Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
•Do not operate a 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.

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 | (continued next page) | |
wasted and only serves to heat the handle. | ||
