Tips
•
Food cooks as quickly at a gentle boil as at a vigorous boil. Using an unnecessarily
high boil wastes energy and cooks moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of food.
•
Use a low or medium flame if using cookware that is a poor heat conductor (e.g., glass,
ceramic, cast iron). Reduce the flame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This
ensures even heating and lowers the chance of burning/scorching the food.
Manual ignition
If case of a power failure, you can, with caution, ignite the burner manually.
1.
Hold a long gas-grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2.
Push in the burner's control knob, then turn it to Lite (flame icon). Turn on the grill
lighter to ignite the burner.
3.
After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.
Flame level
The burner flames should never extend beyond the cookware bottom.

NOTE
The griddle control knob lacks a flame
symbol and is turned clockwise for
ignition, in contrast to the other knobs,
which include a flame symbol and are
turned counterclockwise for ignition.
Before using burner knobs...
To prevent unintentional setting changes, each burner knob is operated by a push-
turn system.
Also, each knob has stop points. When you reach a stop point, push and turn the knob
again. The knob can be turned only if the user intends to change the burner setting.
