BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
LOCATIONS OF THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS
Your 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.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the
left front and rear positions on the cooktop.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities
of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger
quantities of food. The POWER burner is located at the right
front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable
for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and fl ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

CHECK BURNER CAP PLACEMENT BEFORE
OPERATING THE SURFACE BURNERS
To prevent fl are-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-
products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps
properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas fl ame
size.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner
caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the
correct locations BEFORE operating the cooktop burners.
Remember:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever
using a surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner
caps are seated fi rmly and rest level on top of
burner heads.
• For proper fl ow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas orifi ce port opening.
Round Style Burners
The burner cap lip (See Fig. 2) should fi t snug into the
center of burner head and rest level. Refer to Figs. 3 &
4 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in
place, you may check the fi t by gently sliding the burner cap
from side to side (Fig. 5) to be sure it is centered and fi rmly
seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the
center of the burner head you will be able to feel it. Please
note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of
the burner head when sliding from side to side.
