Setting Surface Controls 13
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the
following burners:
• Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc.
• Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.
• Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of
liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities
of food.
• Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation flame
control valves. These valves provide enhanced control of
the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an
electric ignitor when its control knob is turned to the LITE
position
Regardless of size, always select a utensil 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.
To operate the surface burner:
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 eventually transfer to the
surface control knobs located directly above the oven door.
IMPORTANT!
• 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.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a
lit long 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.

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to
(LITE). For dual flame burner, make sure to
keep the knob setting between the two icons
until the outer ring burner is lit. Note: All elec-
tronic ignitors will click at the same time. How-
ever, only the burner you are turning on will
ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Turn the control knob to the desired flame
size. The control knobs do not have to be set
at a particular mark. Use the guides and
adjust the flame as needed.
