Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise

to the desired position from

HI to LO or simmer (SIM).

After the burner ignites,

turn the knob in

either direction to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off,

turn the knob clockwise,

as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

All of the burners can be used for both
general cooking and simmering. The center
burner is the maximum output burner for
larger pans or fast boiling operations.

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.

For your convenience, the indicator lamp in
the bezel for each knob verifies the burner
is “ON”.

Be sure you turn the control knob to “OFF”
when you finish cooking.

Using Your Cooktop

Gas Cooktop

Electric
ignition
& relight

Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights
with constantly burning flames.

All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
igniters are clicking.

The burners on this cooktop relight
automatically if the flame goes out. This
helps prevent the inconvenience of having
to manually relight a burner.

Occasionally, the burners may spark if excess
wind or draft blows the flame away from the
burner’s flame sensor.

All of the burner igniters spark while a burner
is relighting.

In case of a power outage,

you can light the

surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

How to
select
flame size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat.

The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and
only serves to heat the handle.

NOTE:

The center maximum output

burner has an extra large flame. Use 10

or larger diameter cookware when using
high heat settings.
