Settings Uses
hi Use hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food
will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
lo
Use lo to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the lo setting if the pan is
covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob
toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.

strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before
relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set in
the OFF position prior to supplying
gas to the range.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the burn-

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with
automatic re-ignition. If the burner flame
should go out, the system will automatically
spark to re-ignite the burner.

preserve the grate finish, do not operate
the burners without a pan on the grate to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately coun-
terclockwise to the desired setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard
and the burner will light. (All four
ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned on. However,
only the selected burner will light.)
