Surface cooking
Surface cooking
Each surface burner has a control knob with
settings from HI to LO.
They also have a LITE setting that is only
used to light the ame. The electronic
ignition system sparks when the control
knob is in the LITE position.
The surface burner indicator next to the
control knob shows which burner the knob
controls.
Cookware usage
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking
or extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and
cook food more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-tting lid.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• Pan is well-balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the
surface burner.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
• The pot/pan diameter matches the surface burner ame diameter.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom.
ALUMINUM: Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum
to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.)
COPPER: Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.
The right and left front side burners provide maximium output. These burners can
also be used as general-purpose burners, but they are designed to provide quick
heat to large cookware. The right and left front side burner spreads out the heat
with a larger circle of ames.

This provides better heat distribution for larger cookware (12” [30.5 cm]) or larger
pots and pans.
The center oval burner can also be used for large pots and pans, but is designed
to be used with the center burner grate and/or the center griddle accessory (if
equipped).
The oval burner also spreads out the heat more evenly over the large center
cooking area.
