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 ﬂame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ﬂames

to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

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.

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the cooktop 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.
