Settings Uses
Hi Use Hi 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.
Lo
Use Lo 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.

ETTINGS
• If flame should go out during a cook-
ing 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 to
the OFF position prior to supplying
gas to the cooktop.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the burn-
ers, to become warm or hot during
cooking. Use potholders to protect
hands.

GNITION
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a
constant standing pilot light. Each surface
burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning
around the surface burner use care. If
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it
could damage it preventing ignition.
If the surface burner does not light, check if
ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged,
clean the small port beneath the ignitor
using straight pin.
