COOKTOP USE
Setting the Control Knobs
Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set:
1.
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2.
Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
Burner Use Suggestions:
Use the right front, right rear or left rear burners for simmering, or
for cooking smaller quantities of food requiring small cookware.
Use the left front POWER™ Burner for bringing liquids to a rapid
boil, cooking large quantities of food, or for deep-fat frying
requiring large cookware.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap:
Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Gas tube opening:
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers
by always using a burner cap.
