Burner
The cooktop is equipped with electronic
ignition which eliminates the need for a
standing pilot light.
The burners on this cooktop will automatically
relight if the flame goes out.
All surface burner igniters will spark and make
clicking sounds when any burner is turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters
are clicking.
Occasionally the burners may spark if excess
wind or a draft blows the flame away from the
burner’s flame sensor.
In case of a power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn
the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the LITE position.
WARNING
Burners should be
operated only when covered by cookware.
Burner flames not covered by cookware
present a risk of fire or clothing ignition.
Never let flames extend beyond the sides
of the cookware. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to
adjust the flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.
Ŷ Do not operate a 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.
Some surface burners on your cooktop have
two sets of flames stacked one on top of the
other; the dual-flame burners have a lower
(simmer) flame and a upper (main) flame.
When a burner is turned on, the lower flame
will always light and stay on.
Simmering:
The stacked burner design provides a wide
cooktop of heat settings with which to simmer.
Depending on the type and quantity of food,
and pan size, the flame can be adjusted to suit
your specific need. The lowest setting uses
only the lower flame and can maintain delicate
foods at a safe 140°F.
Cooking:
Settings from LO to HI will use both upper and
lower flames. Use LO to HI for all purpose
cooking. Use HI with larger diameter cookware.
HI is a very high heat setting and is intended
to sear foods quickly and boil large quantities
of water.
For large cookware, activate
all rings by setting the burner
between Hi and Med.
For small cookware or low
heating applications, only
activate the inner rings by
setting the burner between
Lo and Sim.
