Setting Surface Controls
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.
ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY
Inthe event ofan 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 push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use CAUTION when lighting
surface burners manually.
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being
prepared. Select aburner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames
to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot,
depending on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. Refer to your
installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot. Standing
pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off. Models with electric ignitors
light automatically each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
Formost 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 offood being cooked will influence the setting needed
for cooking.
WRONG
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. Ifthe fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. Ifthe
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.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higherflame simply I
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your r sk of be ng burned by the fame.
