Setting Surface Burners 13 SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Your appliance is equipped with different sized surface burners . that have different BTU ratings (Figure 9). 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 burner is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. • Use standard size burners for most surface cooking needs. • Larger power burners are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food. hi Figure 10: Correct way to set burners Figure 9: Typical burner sizes Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface. Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper 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. To set surface burners: 1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate. 2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counter- clockwise out of the OFF position and rotate to the position (Figure 10). 3. Visually check that the burner has lit. 4. Once the burner has a flame, turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control markings and adjust the flame as needed. IMPORTANT! • Do not 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 position. • When setting any surface control knob to the position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite. • Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time, unless the cookware was designed for that purpose (such as griddles). 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. • When 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.
