Setting Surface Controls Open Burner Models To Adjust Low or "Simmer" Setting (some models) The burner flame, at low setting, can be adjusted if it is too high or too low; refer to the Installation Instructions for adjustment procedure. To operate the Surface Burner: 1. Place cooking utensil on burner. 2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite. 3. Visually check that the burner has lit. 4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.) The surface control knobs shown below may not look identical to the Surface Controls Knobs on your range; They are only representational. c\ockwise Manual Ignition In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can 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. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame. 8
