Control Locations of the Gas Surface
Burners
Your cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with
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 2 burners are located at the left rear
and center rear positions.
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 burners
are located at the right front, center front and left front
burner positions.
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.

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see figure 2). Note: All
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the
burner you are turning on will ignite.
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 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 ifplaced 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.
