To light the surface burners, push and turn the corre-
sponding Burner Control Knob counterclockwise to
the ‘IGNITE’ position. You will hear a clicking noise –
the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
IMPORTANT: When one burner is turned to the
‘IGNITE’ position, all the burners will spark. Do not
touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the
igniters are sparking. Do not attempt to disassemble
or clean around any burner while another burner is on.
FLAME REGULATION
Once the flame is ignited, rotate the Burner Control Knob to regulate the flame.
● To reduce the flames from a high to a low setting, push the corresponding knob in
and turn counterclockwise.
● To increase the flames from a low to a high setting, push in and turn the Burner
Control Knob clockwise.
● A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cook-
ing performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter,
and for cooking that needs to cook over low heat for a long time.
● The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on
your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling
and pasta cooking.
● The flame should be regulated so that it never protrudes beyond the cookware.
Since the outer part of the gas flame is much hotter than the center of the flame, the
flame tips should remain under the base of the cookware. Protruding flame tips give
off unnecessary heat into the air and can damage pot handles and increase the risk
of burning.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
WARNING: NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER TO HEAT OR
WARM THE ROOM. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
AND OVERHEATING.
● If possible, cook in covered pots or pans. This prevents unnecessary heat loss.
● Cook with less water.
● After cooking or frying, promptly set to a lower flame.
● Generally, wide/shallow pans will heat quicker and cook more evenly than
narrow/tall ones.
When a flame is visible, keep the Burner Control Knob
pressed and continue to turn the knob counterclock-
wise to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at
‘IGNITE’, it will continue to click.
The burner can be continuously regulated between
highest and lowest flame.
Note: The outer flame of the Double Burner will go out
when the Burner Knob is rotated to simmer (SIM).
Rotate clockwise to re-ignite the outer flame.
To turn OFF, turn the Burner Control Knob clockwise
back to the dot/off position. The gas supply will stop
and the flame will go out.
