Use & Care

SURFACE COOKING

Low: Use to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter. Some cooking may take place on the Low setting if the pan is covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.

High: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Surface Controls

CAUTION

•If flame should go out during a cooking operation and the burner does not reignite itself, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes before relighting the burner.

•Be sure all surface controls are set in the OFF position prior to supplying gas to the range.

•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

Pilotless Ignition

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each surface burner has a spark ignitor. Use care when cleaning around the surface burner.

If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet.

Setting the controls:

The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.

1.Place a pan on the burner grate.

•The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.

2.Push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.

•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner will light.

Important: Each surface burner is equipped to provide automatic reignition if the flame should somehow get blown out.

Operating During a

Power Failure

CAUTION

When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and hold it in position before turning the knob on.

1.Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.

2.Push in and turn the control knob slowly on.

3.Adjust the flame to the desired level.

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. At the High setting a detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Graphics next to the knob identify which burner the knob controls. For example, the graphic at left shows the right front burner location.
