SURFACE BURNERS
(on some models)
Electric Ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for
standing pilots with constantly burning flames.
In case of a power outage,
you can light the surface burners on your
cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then turn the control
knob to the high position.
Use extreme caution when lighting the
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will
continue to operate normally.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE DO NOT USE THE GRILL.
THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
To Light a Burner
Push the control knob in
and turn it to LITE. You
will hear a little clicking
noise—the sound of the
electric ignition spark
that lights the burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far
as it will go, to the OFF position.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one
you want to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
• When using the surface burners, if you find that the
LO setting is too hot for delicate foods, you can
adjust the knob below the LO setting.
• Only surface burners may be used on the right side.
• Do not allow large pans to extend over the
control knobs. Heat trapped between large pans
and control knobs could cause possible damage
to the control knobs.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—
Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.
Medium high—
(Setting halfway between the
midpoint and HI) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast
boil on large amounts of food.
Medium—
(Midpoint setting approximately halfway
between HI and LO) Sauté and brown; maintains a
slow boil on large amounts of food.
Medium low—
(Setting halfway between midpoint
and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little
water in covered pan.
LO—
Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature
of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering.
NOTE:
• At HI and medium high settings, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
• At medium low to LO settings, melt chocolate
and butter.
