Setting Surface Controls

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized

surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in

larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is

important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount

and type of food being prepared.

The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best

suited for

simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface

cooking

needs. Some models are equipped with a center

burner.

The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO

BOIL bu

rner (on some models) are recommended for

bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when

preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1. Plac

e cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner

grate.

2. Pu

sh the desired surface control knob in and turn coun-

terclockwise out of the OF

F position.

3. Rel

ease the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE

position. Visually check that the burner is lit.

4. Once the bu

rner has a flame, push the control knob in

and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.

Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as

needed.

Important:

• Do n

ot cook with the surface control knob left in the Lite

position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if

the control knob setting remains in the LITE position.

• Wh

en setting any surface control knob to the Lite

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the

same time. However, only the surface burner you are

setting will ignite.

• Neve

r place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This

can cause uneven heating results.

• In

the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting

surface burners 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 turn knob to desired setting.

• Whe

n operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat

from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually

transfer to the surface control knobs located directly

above the oven door.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and

pper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the

cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.

Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if

placed too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil or any material that can melt on

e range cooktop. If these items melt they may perma-

nently damage the cooktop surface.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning with your appliance. Check with the United

States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be

sure to read all the information they have available as well

as follow recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use on

ly quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• M

ake sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• S

tart with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use th

e highest heat setting when first bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to

lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
