Setting Surface Controls
Your range may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner, this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner, can be used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of
liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the
pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control
knob is turned to the
LITE
position.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2.
Push
the Surface Control knob
in
and
turn counterclockwise
out of the
OFF
position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the
LITE
position.
Note:
All four electronic
ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are
turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4.
Push
the control knob
in and turn
counterclockwise
to the desired flame
size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the
guides and adjust the flame as needed.
DO NOT
cook with the Surface
Control knob in the
LITE
position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to
click if left in the
LITE
position.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit
manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then
slowly turn the Surface Control knob to
LITE.
After burner lights push in and

manually.
