Setting Surface Controls
Setting the Triple Burner
The Triple Burner has three rings of flame that you can control for two different heat
levels, one for small and one for large cookware. This left front Triple Burner is
controlled by the leftmost knob on the control panel.
Small Cookware Operation (Figure 1; Zone A)
1. Place a small cooking utensil centered over the left front surface Burner Grate.
2. Push the left surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position (See Figure 2).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All electronic surface
ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the left front Burner will ignite.
4. Visually check that zone A of left front burner has lit. Adjust the flame size by
turning the control knob between the first HI and LO settings. DO NOT cook with
the surface control knob in the LITE position (The electronic ignitor will continue to
spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).
Large Cookware Operation (Figure 1 ; Zone A & B)
1. Place a large cooking utensil centered over the left front surface
Burner Grate.
2. Push the left front surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise
out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (Figure 2). Note: All
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the selected surface Burner will lite.
4. Visually check that zone A of the left front Burner has lit.
5. Continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise past the first
LO setting to the arrow marked Multi; zone B will ignite with two rings
of flame.
Visually check that both zones of the Triple Burner are lit.

When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for
both burners together. Note: The markings between the 2rid HI and LO settings on the left front control knob adjust
the flame size for both zone A & B (Refer to Figure 2).DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the LITE
position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of
utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed.
W
Never extend the flame beyond
the outer edge of the utensil. A
higher flame simply wastes heat
and energy, and increases the risk
of being burned by the gas flame.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too 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 as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly
visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-
orange.
