Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise
to the LITE position.
After the burner ignites,
turn the knob in
either direction to adjust the flame size from
HI to LO.
To turn a burner off,
turn the knob clockwise,
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

All of the burners can be used for general
cooking.
The front right burner is the maximum
output burner best for larger pans and to
bring liquids to a boil faster.
The smaller burners (center and right rear)
will give the best simmer results. They offer
precise cooking performance for delicate
foods, such as sauces or foods which need to
cook over low heat for a long time. They can
be turned down to a very low simmer setting.
•
Do not operate a 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.
•
Be sure the burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
•
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
Using Your Cooktop
Gas Cooktop
Electric
ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights
with constantly burning flames.
All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
igniters are clicking.
All of the burner igniters spark while a burner
is relighting.
In case of a power outage,
you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner; then turn
the knob to the HIGH position.
Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.

How to
select
flame size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should be
approximately the same
diameter
of the
cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and
only serves to heat the handle.
