SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared. Select a burner and ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ames
to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation ame control valves. These valves
provide enhanced control of the burner ame. Each burner lights automatically from an
electric ignitor when its control knob is turned to the position.
