Setting Surface Controls
Do not place plastic
items such as saltand pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY
Inthe 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 toLITE.After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use CAUTION when lighting
surface burners manually.
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being
prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames
to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot,
depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. Refer to your
installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot. Standing
pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off. Models with electric ignitors
light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.
Operating the Surface Burners
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Ifyour range is equipped with
electronic ignitors, all four ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides
and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob
in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark ifthe knob is
left in the LITE position.)
CORRECT
Never extend the flame beyond the outer]
edge ofthe utensil. A higher flame simply /
wastes heat and energy, and increases /
your risk of being burned by the flame. J
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
Formost 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 flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influencethe setting needed
for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the
fat istoo 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.

*These settings are based on using medium=weight metal or aluminum pans with lidsoSettings may vary when using
other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and hardly visible
in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner ifflame is yellow-orange.
