•Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boihwers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flmne size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookwaJce.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
•Use only dry pot holders--m oist or (lamp pot
holders on hot suriaces may result in btu'ns
fl'om steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flalnes when litiing cookware. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward tile side or center of
tile cooktop without extending ()vet" a@_cent

Electric
ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need fin" standing pilot lights
with constantly burning flames.
All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of tile burners when tile
igniters are clicking.
All of tile burner ignitei_ spark while a burner
is relighting.
In case of a power outage, you can light tile

Hold a lighted match to tile b/irller; then ttlrIl
tile knob to tile HIGH position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Surtace burners ill use when an electrical
power thilure occurs will continue to operate

• All of tile burners can be used fl)r general
cooking,
Tile fl'ont right burner is tile maximum
output burner best for larger pans and to
bring liquids to a boil faster.
The smaller burnei_ (center and right rear)
will give the best simmer results. They offer
precise cooking perli)rmance for delicate
fi)ods, such as sauces or fi)ods which need to
cook over low heat for a long time. They can
be turned down to a very low simmer setting.
•Do llOt operate a btlrller tor _lil extended
period of time without cookware on tile

without cookware to absorb tile heat.
• Be sure tile burners and grates are cool
before vou place your hand, a pot holder,
