Surface Cooking

• Operating Gas Surface Burners

• Setting Proper Burner Flame Size

• Operating Triple Ring Burner

^CAUTION

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.

Operating the Gas Surface Burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Fig. 1).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four 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 lit.

5. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control

knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the guides and 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).

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for cooking.

Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame j Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.

Medium Flame S Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.

Low Flame ? Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

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.

Triple Ring Burner (some models):

The versatile Triple Ring Burner

offers

a complete range of gas surface settings

from

the same burner location. At the

lowest setting, only the inner ring is active, providing a low flame for any simmering needs. If needed however, two additional

gas rings may be added quickly to provide a “Power Burner” output of 16,000 BTU. When set

the highest, the Triple Ring

may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

Operating the Triple Ring Burner:

1. Push the right front surface control knob

and turn counterclockwise out of

the

OFF position (See Fig. 1).

2. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Fig. 1). Note: Although all electronic surface ignitors will spark at

the same time, only the selected surface Burner will life.

3. Visually check that the inner ring of the right front Burner has lit.

4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob clockwise past the

first

LO setting to the arrow marked

TRIPLE,

5. Visually check that both the inner and outer ring of the Triple Ring Burner are lit.

6. When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired

flame

size for

both burners together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the left rear control knob

adjust

the

flame size for both burners. Use

the guide

marks between the 2nd HI and LO settings and adjust the flame size

needed (Referto Fig. 3).
