O N for approximately 52 seconds
and O FF for 8 seconds of each
minute.

to suit the food and quantity, the
cont rol can be set anywher e

Each burner has its own electronic
igniter that sparks when the burner
is turned on. Each burner should light
in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does
not light, check to see that the cap is
positioned correctly on the base.
Do
not touch the burners when the
igniters are sparking.
If a burner
fails to ignite, refer to the section on
Page 43, “Before Calling for Service.”

IGN ITER
• To maintain a low or simmer heat,
bring food to a rolling boil. Stir
well, then cover the pan and lower
the heat to a setting just below
LO.
• Check periodically to see if the
control knob should be turned to
another setting.
• If an over-size pan is used, the
simmer action may occur mainly
in t he cent er of t he pan. To
equalize t he t emper at ur e
throughout the food, stir the food
around the outer edges of the pan
into the food in the center.
• It is nor mal t o st ir food
occasionally while simmering. This
is especially impor t ant w hen
simmering for several hours, such
as for a homemade spaghetti sauce
or beans.
• W hen lowering the flame setting,
adjust it in small steps.
• If the setting is too low to hold a
simmer, bring the food back to a
boil before re-setting to a higher
heat.
• It is normal not to see simmer
bubbles immediately after the food
has been stirred.
• There may be bubbling when the
flame cycles O N and no bubbles
when the flame is O FF. Even when
the flame is O FF, there will be
steam and a slight quiver on the
liquid’s surface.
