Setting Surface
Controls
Your range is equipped with 4 standard burners, 2 standard and 2 large
burners, or 3 standard and 1 large burner. 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.
For models equipped with the large burners, the larger burner is best used
when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing
larger quantities of food.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control
knob is turned to the
LITE
position.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to
LITE
.
Note:
All 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. After the burner lights, turn the control knob 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
. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually.
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.
