Setting Surface Burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for
simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking
needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) are recommended
for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
To set surface burners:
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
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
When operating the oven, it is possible for
residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventu-
ally transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be
sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counter-
clockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 12).
Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner has lit.
Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the
control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.
Important note:
• Do not cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the LITE position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time unless the utensil or
cookware was designed for that purpose, such as a griddle.
This can cause uneven heating results.
Important: 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 knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
Turboboil Flex
Your appliance is equipped with the turboboil flex boiling
burner. It allows you to bring liquids to a boil, as well as
maintain liquids consistently at a low, warm simmer.
