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. This standard burner is located at the left front position on the cooktop. The POWER burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The 2 POWER burners are located at the right front and left rear positions 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 flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan. Figure 1 Locations (For models of the Gas Surface with Ceramic Burners Glass Cooktop - Figure 2) The 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 sized burner are used for most surface cooking needs. These burners are located at the left front and left 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. This burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop. The BRIDGE burner is best suited when using rectangular or long shaped cookware. The left rear and left middle are combined and controlled by the same control knob. The left front burner may also be added fora total of 3 burners. ! Figure2 10 Setting Surface Controls 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. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame. 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 LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. Operating 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. the Gas Surface Controls: Place cooking utensil on surface burner. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 1). Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite. Visually check that the burner has a flame. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.) Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. 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 for cooking. .................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................... }:i* *Flame Size Type of Cooking High Flame Medium Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming. Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing. *These settings are based on using medium=weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yelloworange. Regardless of size, always select cookware 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. Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 2). Figure 1 For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly. Improper flame size Figure 2 11 Setting Surface Controls Setting the Bridge Burner (cont'd) (some models) The Bridge Burner should be used with rectangular shaped cookware. Cookware like the cast-iron Griddle that is supplied with your range is designed specifically for best results with the Bridge Burner. The Bridge Burner feature may be used to combine the cooking power of 2 or if needed 3 gas surface Burners located along the left-hand side of the glass cooktop. The left rear and left center Burners are controlled by the left rear surface Control Knob. In addition the left front Burner may be added to the Bridge Burner with the left front gas Control Knob (See Figure 1 ). Operating the Bridge Burner (some models) 1. Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 2). 2. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Figures 2 & 3). Note: All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the selected surface Burner will lite. 3. Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit. 4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob clockwise past the first LO setting to the arrow marked BRIDGE. 5. Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit. 6. When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the left rear control knob adjust the flame size for both burners. Use the guide marks between the 2nd HI and LO settings and adjust the flame size as needed (Refer to Figure 3). 7. Add the left front Burner if needed. Once lit, visually adjust the flame size of the left front Burner to match the flame size of the Bridge Burner. 8. Place cooking utensil centered over the left-hand cooktop surface Burner Grate. DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the LITE position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2. Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. • Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. Heavy handle tilts pan. Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared. Made of material that conducts heat well. Flame extends beyond pan. Easy to clean. Note: Always use a utensil for its intended Figure 2 purpose.

Using a wok Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Roundbottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner circumference) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying). Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates. 13 DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner circumference. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged. Surface Cooking Care & Seasoning (cont'd) of the Griddle Before first use: • Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely. • Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle). = Preheat your oven to 350°E Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven. Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing. • The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely. After each use: =To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered. After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only. • DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER. • Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing. Using the Griddle: = Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1. • Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. • DO NOT preheat the griddle on Hi setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution. Before Setting Figure 1 Oven Controls _This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. it may continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after a while. Oven Vent Location Removing The oven vent is located in the center rear on the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. and Replacing Oven Racks To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. OVEN VENT i 14 Before Setting Arranging Oven Controls (cont'd) Oven Racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN iS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.

Types of Oven Racks Flat Handle Oven Rack Figure 2 Flat Half Oven Rack Figure 3 Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns. Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack (Figure 2) and Flat Oven Half Rack (Figure 3). The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert Figure 4 that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Figure 3). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front insert side (See Figure 4) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See Figure 5) and lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See Figure 5). Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls. Air Circulation 1 Oven Rack in the Oven For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
