SETTING SURFACE BURNERS
Setting Double Ring Burner (some models)
The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner
position.
At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active,
using a smaller flame perfect for simmering. The burner’s
outer ring when set for HI will provide a gas flame that may
be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Double Ring Burner:
1. Push right front surface burner control knob in and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position and rotate to
the LITE position.
2. Visually check that both inner and outer rings for the
Double Ring burner are lit (
Figure 5). Once lit, turn the
control counterclockwise and adjust to the desired
flame size.
3. When adjusting for a low or simmer type flame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise
from HI setting towards LO (
Figure 6). When the knob is
turned close enough towards the LO setting, the flame
for the outer ring portion of the burner will turn off
leaving only the inner burner with a flame for simmering
(
Figure 5). Make any further flame adjustments as
needed..
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the
cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on
the range cooktop. If these items melt they may perma
-
nently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning.
• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time unless
the cooktop is designed for such a purpose.
