Surface Cooking

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

HI: 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, 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 before 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.

Surface Control Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LO to HI. At the HI 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 right shows the left front burner location.

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 counterclockwise to the LITE setting.

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