Surface Controls
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation and
the burner does not reignite itself, 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 in the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the range.
• 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.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware, type and
amount of food and BTU of the burner
will determine where to set the knob
for cooking operations. Use the
settings printed around the knobs
as a guide.The following
descriptions will aid in choosing the
type setting that will gived optimum
results:
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a
temperature above 140° F without
continuing to cook. Food is heated on
a higher flame size until it reaches
this temperature and then the flame
size is reduced. Never use a hold or
warm setting to reheat cold food. Be
sure knob is adjusted to produce a
stable flame. (Use the Lo setting or
the simmer burner located at the right
rear to keep food warm.)
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the surface.
Foods are between 185° F and 200° F. A simmer setting can
also be used to steam or poach foods or continue cooking
covered foods. (Adjust the knob between Hi and Lo to obtain
the desired simmer action.)
Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow
boil setting can also be used for most frying and for
maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids. (Adjust
the knob between Hi and Lo to obtain the desired boil action.)
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry,
saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting.
The HIGH setting is always used to bring liquids to a boil.
Once the liquid boils, always reduce the flame size to the
lowest setting that will maintain the boil action. (Turn the knob
to Hi then adjust the flame size to fit the size of the pan.)
C
OOKING
Style of knob
varies by model.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the surface
burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.
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
left shows the right front burner location (Style
of graphic varies by model.).
Setting the controls:
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
•
The burner flame may lift off or appear separated from
the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.
•
A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light.
Important: Each surface burner is equipped to provide
automatic reignition if the flame should somehow get
blown out.
Operating During a
Power Failure
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 on.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly on.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
