Using Your Cooktop
Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with electric ignitors.
Electric ignitors automatically light the burners
each time they are used.
Control knobs must be pushed in
and turned
to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the
ignition sparking. Visually check that the burner
has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner
lights, turn the control knob back to a desired
setting. The control knob can be set anywhere
between HI and OFF.
Burner heat settings
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide.
For best results, start
cooking at the high settings; then turn the control
knob down to continue cooking.
Use LITE
to light the burner. After the burner
lights, turn control back to a desired setting to stop
the clicking of the ignition.
Use HI
to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to
a boil.
Use a medium setting
to continue cooking or to
fry chicken or pancakes; for gravy, pudding and
icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting
to keep food warm until ready
to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the
LOW band to keep food at the temperature you
want.
NOTE:
Do not cook with the control in the LITE
