Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)

The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner position.

At the lowest setting, only the burner's inner ring is active, providing a smaller flame that is perfect for simmering. If needed, the burner's outer ring may be added and when set for HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

Operating the Double Ring Burner:

1.Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.

2.Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.

3.Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the Double Ring burner are lit (See Fig. 3).

Once lit, push in the control knob and to turn

counterclockwise out of the Lite position and adjust to the desired flame size.

4.When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting, continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise

from MED setting towards LO (See Fig 2). Between the MED and LO setting the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off leaving only the inner burner with a flame for simmering (See Fig. 4). Make any further flame adjustments as needed.

I_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.

I_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.

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well

as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

	Fig.	1				• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
						Use a straight-edge	to check canner bottom.
OFF	HI	*	MED	*	LO	• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.
						• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
	Fig. 2					inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
						• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
						quickly.
						• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water
						to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
						possible setting to maintain that boil.
						• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
						different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
