Settings Uses
Hi Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food
will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Lo
Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the Lo setting if the pan is
covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob
toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.
USING YOUR COOKTOP
SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTIONS:
SUGGESTED HEAT SETTINGS
• If flame should go out during a
cooking operation, turn the burner
off. If a strong gas odor is detected,
open a window and wait five minutes
before relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set to
the OFF position prior to supplying
gas to the cooktop.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the
burners, to become warm or hot
during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
PILOTLESS IGNITION
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a
constant standing pilot light. Each surface
burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning
around the surface burner use care. If
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it
could damage it preventing ignition.
If the surface burner does not light, check
if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged,
clean the small port beneath the ignitor
using straight pin.
SURFACE
CONTROL
KNOBS
Use to turn on the
surface burners. An
infinite choice of heat
settings is available
from Lo to Hi. At the Hi setting a detent
or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set
on or between any of the settings.
Graphics next to the knob identify
which burner the knob controls.
For example, the graphic at right
shows the right front burner location.
SETTING THE
CONTROLS
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To
preserve the grate finish, do not operate
the burners without a pan on the grate
to absorb the heat from the burner
flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately
counterclockwise to the Lite setting
until burner ignites.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard
and the burner will light. All ignitors
will spark when any surface burner
knob is turned to the Lite position.
OPERATING DURING A
POWER FAILURE
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired
surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob
slowly to Lite.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
CAUTION:
When lighting the surface burners, be
sure all of the controls are in the OFF
position. Strike the match first and hold
it in position before turning the knob to
Lite.
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
