Setting Surface Controls

Setting surface burners

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

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

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1.Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

2.Push the desired surface control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

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

4.Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in

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

important notes:

°DO NOT cool< with the surface control knob left in the

LITE position. The electronic ignitor wii[ continue to spark if the control knob setting remains 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.

°NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause uneven heating results.

°In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

surface burners 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.
