IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use proper ﬂame size—Adjust ﬂame size so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner ﬂame

to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to ﬂame

will also improve efﬁciency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If

you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and

can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This

can be hazardous to your health.

PROPER BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good ame is clear, blue

and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharply

dened. Adjust or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions

under General Care & Cleaning.

Place a burner cap on each burner head (see

Figure 2), matching the cap size to the head

size. The cap for each burner has an inner

locating ring which centers the cap correctly

on the burner head. Be sure that all the burner

caps and burner heads are correctly placed

BEFORE using your appliance.

Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned

and level.

Turn the burner on to determine if it will light.

If the burner does not light, contact a Service

SURFACE COOKING UTENSILS

FLAME SIZE

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper ame size for various

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

inuence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If

the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the 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.

Setting Surface Controls

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.

Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food

being prepared. Select a burner and ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ames

to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation ame control valves. These valves provide
