Setting Surface Controls

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.

ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY

In the event of an electrical power outage,

the surface burners can be lit manually.

To light a surface burner, hold a lit match

to the burner head, then slowly turn the

Surface Control knob to LITE.After burner

lights push in and turn knob to desired

setting.

Use CAUTION

when lighting

surface burners manually.

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.

Each burner lights automatically from either an electric ignitor or standing pilot,

depending on your model.

Standing pilots must be lit initially.

Refer to your

installation instruction book for directions on lighting the standing pilot. Standing

pilots will remain lit when the burners are turned off. Models with electric ignitors

light automatically

each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Setting Proper Surface

Burner Flame Size

Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lowerone

to complete

the process.

Use the recommendations

below as a guide for

determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of

utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed

for cooking.

WRONG

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.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer

edge of the utensil. A higherflame simply

wastes heat and energy, and increases

your r sk of be ng burned by the fame.

Type of Cooking

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

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight

metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings

may vary when using

other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible

in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
