Using the Surface Burners
Before Using the Surface Burners
Throughout this manual, features and appearance
may vary from your model.
• Make sure all grates on the cooktop are properly
placed before using any burner.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before
you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning
cloths or other materials on them.
• Make sure all burners are in place.
• 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.
Lighting a Gas Surface Burner
• Be sure all the surface burners are placed in
their respective positions.
• Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE
position.
• The clicking noise you hear is the sound of the
electric spark igniting the burner.
• A clicking sound may also be heard during
operation due to the flame detection function.
• To control the flame size, turn the knob. lf the
knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
• When one burner knob is turned to LITE, only
that burner sparks. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while
another burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
In Case of Power Failure
• In case of a power failure, you can light the gas
surface burners on the cooktop with a match.
Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and
turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use
extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
• Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Sealed Gas Burners
• The cooktop has five sealed gas burners. They
offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to
be used in a wide range of cooking applications.

• The rear large burners
a
simmer setting and are best for delicate foods
such as sauces that require long simmer times
over low heat.
Extra Low Simmer (Rear Large Burners
Only)
- Extra Low Simmer is only available on the rear
large burners. The simmer function on the
other burners applies heat to food
continuously.
- Extra Low Simmer controls the heat by turning
the flame on and off at preset intervals. This
allows foods such as sauces, chocolate and
jam to simmer longer without scorching.
- The intervals without flame become longer as
you move from S3 to S1.
NOTE
• It may look like the burners are turned off during
Extra Low Simmer.
• It is normal for the flames to turn off and on
periodically during Extra Low Simmer.
