Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
Your cooktop isequipped with gas surface burners with 3 different
BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate
sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position
on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burners can be used for most surface cooking
needs. The 1 (or 2 on 36" models) burners are located at the left
rear and center rear positions on 36" models.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of
liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities
of food. The POWER burner is located at the right front and left
front burner position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable 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.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs
do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust
the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE
Figure3 position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE
position.)
NOTE
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 slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on
the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
