outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.
If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once asthe food
will neither brown nor cook properly.

Your range is equipped with 4 standard burners, 2 standard and 2 large
burners, or 3 standard and 1 large burner. Regardless of size, always select a
utensil that issuitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select
a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
For models equipped with the large burners, the larger burner is best used
when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing
larger quantities of food.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control
knob is turned to the LITE position.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Placecooking utensil on burner.
2. Push the SurfaceControl knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.
3. Releasethe knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic
ignitors will clickat the sametime. However, only the burner you are turning on
will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Pushthe control knob in and turn counterclockwise tothedesiredflame size.
The controlknobs donot haveto besetat a particular mark. Usethe guidesand
adjust the flame asneeded. DO NOT cookwith the SurfaceControl knob inthe

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit
manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then
push in and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.
