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.
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.
Med: 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, 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 (select models)
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning around the surface burner use care. If cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could be damaged preventing ignition.
If the surface burner does not
light, check if ignitor is | BURNER HEAD |

broken, soiled or wet. If |
|
clogged, clean the |

Pilot Ignition (select models)
When the range is first installed, the standing pilots may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line. To bleed off air from the line, hold a lighted match next to the burner and turn the knob on. When the burner lights, turn the knob off and proceed as directed below.
To light pilot:
Raise the cooktop and hold a | Conventional |

are two pilot ports, one on the |

side. |

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 left front burner location.
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
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 counterclockwise to the Lite setting.
•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner will light. (All four ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned to the Lite position.)
3.After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
•The ignitor will continue to spark until the knob is turned past the Lite position.
