USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
Using POWER Burner
POWER Burner is an adjustable setting for the left
front burner which provides an ultra-high heat setting.
It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to
cook large quantities of food.
Using ACCUSIMMER
ACCUSIMMER is an adjustable setting for the right
rear burner. It allows more accurate simmer control at
the lowest setting.

Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
Using the control knobs
Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically light the burners each time
you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
•
Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a
burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.
•
Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the
LIGHT position. The
clicking sound is the
ignitor sparking. Make
sure the burner has lit.
•
To stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights, turn the control
knob to the cook
setting you want. You
can set the control knob
anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.
