Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner; this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner; can be used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner; the larger burner is 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.
 CAUTION i 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 dose to
a flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click
at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4.
Push in and turn the Surface Control Knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs
do not have to be set at a particular mark. 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 click if left in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)
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. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
