• The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, such as sauces
or foods which need to cook over low heat for a
long rime. It can be nirned down to a very low
simmer setting.

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker
(namral gas installations only).

sound of the electric spark

away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on. A blowing sound may he heard the first
few seconds.
This normal sound is due to improved
injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on
the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to
match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing
sound will stop.
After Lighting a Burner
• After the burner ignites, turn the Imob to adjust
the flame,
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use,
• Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
