Simmer Burner Settings
To Set:
1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2.Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between Simmer HI and LO.
Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.
Cooktop Surface
Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps after each use will help keep it free from stains.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
For more information, see the “Sealed Surface Burners” and “General Cleaning” sections.

Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by always using a burner cap.
