SETTINGSURFACEBURNERS
IMPORTANT
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. After burner lights
turn the knob to desired setting. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.
IMPORTANT
Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher ame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas
ame.
Operatingthegassurfacecontrols
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position
(see gures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface
ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the
burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a ame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the
desired ame size. The control knobs do not have to
be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator
settings to adjust the ame as needed. DO NOT cook
with the surface control knob in the LITE position.
(The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
knob is left in the LITE position.)

These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels
or wood spoons could catch re if placed too close to a
ame.

of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-
lighted room. Each cone of ame should be steady and
sharp. Clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.

Settingpropersurfaceburneramesize
For most cooking - start on the highest control
setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the
process. Use the recommendations below as a guide
for determining proper ame size for various types
of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the
amount of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed.
Fordeepfatfrying - use a thermometer and adjust the
surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the
food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too
hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook
properly.
