SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Setting surface controls The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance 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 heating of small amounts of food. • Large burners are best for bringing large quantities 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 (Figure 7). 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 counterclockwise 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 position 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, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners. Figure 7: Surface control knob 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 surface 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. 16
