Setting Surface Burner Controls

Setting the Downdraft Vent System

 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 fi re if placed too 
close to a fl ame.

Manual Lighting

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, turn knob to desired 
setting. Use caution when lighting 
surface burners manually.

Your appliance is equipped with an integrated downdraft vent system that may be turned 
on at any moment. This system helps remove smoke, odors and vapors from food 
prepared on your cooktop.

To activate the downdraft vent system, simply turn the knob to the desired fan power 
setting.
When you are fi nished operating the downdraft vent system, turn back the knob to the Off 
position.

IMPORTANT:  For best performance, the grease fi lter must be properly installed and often 
cleaned. See the "General Care and Cleaning" section for more information.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking

, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a 

lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a 
guide for determining proper fl ame size for various types of cooking. The 
size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will 
infl uence the setting needed for cooking.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum 
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

 

The color of the fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame 
is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of fl ame 
should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if fl ame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount 
and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and fl ame size appropriate 
to the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

 NEVER extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the 

utensil. A higher fl ame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk 
of being burned by the fl ame (Figure 2).

For deep fat frying

,

 

use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob 

accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. 
If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be 
undercooked. 

DO NOT

 attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the 

food will neither brown nor cook properly.
