Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes
increases as the burner size increases. Your gas ap-
pliance may be equipped with many different sized
surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared.
Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the
cookware size.
• The standard size burner or burners may be
used for most surface cooking needs.
• Small burners are best used for low-flame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
• Large burners are best for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid to temperature or heating larger
quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner
grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable
on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner's surface control knob in and
turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to
the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the
burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the
surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the
flame as needed using the knob markings.
IMpOrTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time
unless the cookware is specifically designed for the
purpose.
DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the
lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue
to spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite posi-
tion and adjust the flame size.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they
may permanently damage the appearance of the
cooktop.

CAUTION
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and
pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, tow-
els, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the surface burners.

NOTE
When setting a surface control knob to the lite
position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will
spark at the same time. However, only the surface
burner you are setting will ignite.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the sur-
face burners may 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. Once
the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of
lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution
when lighting surface burners manually.
