COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to IGNITE.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.

To Set:

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.

All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.

2.Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING	RECOMMENDED USE
IGNITE	■	Light the burner.
HIGH	■	Start food cooking.
	■ Bring liquid to a boil.
Between	■	Hold a rapid boil.
HIGH and LOW	■	Quickly brown or sear food.
	■ Fry or sauté foods.
	■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
	■ Stew or steam foods.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
