GAS SURFACE BURNERS AND CONTROL KNOBS
Your gas range cooktop has five gas burners. All sealed
cooktop burners are of an open-port design to provide you
easy assembly and accurate and dependable operation. The
different burner sizes ensure you have the proper heat source
for the desired cooking job.
The right rear side burner provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods and
foods that require low heat for long cooking times. The right rear side burner lets you use
the LO setting for a very low simmer setting.
The left rear side and center round burners are general-purpose burners that can
be used for most cooking. The HI to LO settings provide a wide range of cooking
temperatures to meet your cooking needs.
The right and left front side burners provide maximium output. These burners can also
be used as general-purpose burners, but they are designed to provide quick heat to
large cookware. The right and left front side burner spreads out the heat with a larger
circle of flames.

This provides better heat distribution for larger cookware (12 in [30.5 cm]) or larger pots
and pans.
The center oval burner can also be used for large pots and pans, but is designed to be
used with the center burner grate and/or the center griddle accessory (if equipped).
The oval burner also spreads out the heat more evenly over the large center cooking
area.
Each surface burner has a control knob with settings from HI to LO.
They also have a LITE setting that is only used to light the flame. The
electronic ignition system sparks when the control knob is in the LITE
position.
The surface burner indicator next to the control knob shows which
burner the knob controls.
