16 Setting Surface Controls
Your cooktop may be equipped with any
combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate
sauces, etc.
Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking
needs.
Large Burner: 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.
Your cooktop is also equipped with 270° rotation
flame control valves. These valves provide
enhanced control of the burner flame. Each burner
lights automatically from an electric ignitor when its
control knob is turned to the lITE position.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to
(lITE). For dual flame burner, make sure to
keep the knob setting between the two icons
until the outer ring burner is lit. 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. Turn the 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 position. (The electronic ignitor will
continue to click if left in the 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
. Use caution when
lighting surface burners manually.
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking
and can be used on both sides. Do not use pans
or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could
damage the finish. With the grate in position over
the burner, set the griddle on top of the grate
positioning the notches in the griddle over the grate
fingers (refer to figures 1 for optimal positioning).

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 close to a flame.
Always place the griddle on the grate before
lighting the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the griddle
from the grate. Allow the griddle to cool
before removing. Do not set hot griddle on
surfaces that cannot withstand high heat;
such as countertops.
Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly
and stable before use to prevent hot spills
and possible burns.
