BEFORE SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Control locations of the gas surface burners Assembly of the burner caps and burner grates Your built-in range is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is very important to make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Double Ring style burners (some models) The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two burner caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are positioned facing down towards the burner head and into the recessed areas (Figure 5) on each side of the burner head. Be sure both burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on the burner head before operating.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Using Proper Cookware CAUTION Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame. Do not operate the 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.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Operating the gas surface controls Setting proper surface burner flame size 1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner. Start on the highest control setting and adjust to the desired setting. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed. 2.
SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Setting Surface Controls • Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above the oven door.
SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Setting Double Ring Burner (some models) Dual burner head (some models) The versatile Double Ring surface burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner position. Burner cap Burner cap lip At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active, using a smaller flame perfect for simmering.
