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. SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Dual burner head (some models) Burner cap Burner cap lip Burner head Recessed areas Burner head Burner caps Figure 5: Burner at highest (L) setting and simmer (R) Operating the Double Ring Burner: 1. 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 5). 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 6). 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 5). Make any further flame adjustments as needed.. OFF . . HI LITE Figure 7: 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. Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow recommendations for home canning procedures. • Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. • Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom. • Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. • Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly. • Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil. • Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cooktop is designed for such a purpose.
