SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT
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 the
knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.
IMPORTANT
Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher ame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas
ame.

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

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 ame size for various types
of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the
amount of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed.

These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels
or wood spoons could catch re if placed too close to a
ame.

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
NOTE
*Note:Settingsarebasedonusingmedium-

varywhenusingothertypesofpans.The color
of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-
lighted room. Each cone of ame should be steady and
sharp. Clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.
Note: All ve electronic surface ignitors will spark
at the same time. However, only the burner you are
turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a ame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the
desired ame size. The control knobs do not have to
be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator
settings to adjust the ame as needed. DO NOT cook
with the surface control knob in the LITE position.
(The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
knob is left in the LITE position.)
