Setting Surface Controls
range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood
spoons could catch re if placed too close
to a ame.
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 push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (Figure 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.)
SETTING PROPER SURFACE BURNER FLAME SIZE
, 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 inuence the setting
needed for cooking.

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow broil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
The color
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. Adjust or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and ame size appropriate to
the pan. Never allow ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
ame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by
the ame (Figure 3).
, 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.
