SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Setting Double Ring Burner (some models) The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner position. At the lowest setting, only the burner's inner ring is active, using a smaller flame perfect for simmering. The burner's outer ring when set for HI will provide a gas flame that may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position and rotate to the LITE position. 2. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the Double Ring burner are lit (Figure 11). Once lit, turn the control counterclockwise and adjust to the desired flame size. 3. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting, continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise from HI setting towards LO (Figure 12). When the knob is turned close enough towards the LO setting, the flame for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off leaving only the inner burner with a flame for simmering (Figure 11). Make any further flame adjustments as needed.. Figure 12: Setting the double ring burner Figure 13: Placing burner caps correctly 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. 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. 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 LITE position. • When 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. • Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two 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. 14
