To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your cooktop properly. This
section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your cooktop.
Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with electric
ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light
the burners each time the control knob is
turned to LITE.
Push in control knobs and turn them to
the LITE position. The clicking sound is the
ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner
has lit.
After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting. You can set the
control knob anywhere between the high
and low settings.
Surface burner markers
The solid dot in the surface burner marker
shows which surface burner is turned on by
that knob.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see next
page). If the heat setting is too high, it can:
Char bacon and cause curling.
Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
Toughen liver, fish and seafood.
Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
Cause a boilover.
