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 cooktop SIMMER burner (right rear cooktop position) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size cooktop burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with an oblong shaped CENTER burner. This burner is rated 10,000 BTU and will heat like any other standard sized burner.

The larger cooktop POWER burner (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.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY

material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

Important notes:

•DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will 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 two 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.
