To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to 

the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting 

the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to 

adjust the desired heat setting.

NOTE: 

When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park. Do 

not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not 

touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.

Simmer and Boil

1. A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking 

performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for 

cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.

2. The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your 

range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta 

cooking.

Flame Size

When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob. 

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.

The flame should be steady and blue in color.
