Gas Surface Burners
Your built-in 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
(Figure 1).
Regardless of size or location, 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.
Setting Regular Burner Caps
Figure 1: Burner controls and location
Burner Caps and Burner Grates Assembly
To prevent flare-ups use the cooktop with all burner caps
properly installed.
Placement of burner caps
IMPORTANT! Your new range comes with two styles of
burners.
• Follow the instructions carefully when placing caps on
burners as shown in Figure 2.
Place a burner cap on each burner head, matching the cap size
to the head size. The cap for each burner has an inner locating
ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner head. Be
sure that all the burner caps and burner heads are correctly
placed before using your appliance.
Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does
not light, contact the installer. Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.
A TTENTION: Do not slide the burner caps on the cooktop,
doing so can damage the surface.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly .
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil.
• Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible
setting to maintain that boil.
Installing Burner Grates
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the
cooktop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.To install
burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align into the

CORRECT
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by
more than 1” (2.5 cm).
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond unit.
Setting Proper Burner Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking
utensil. A higher flame wastes energy and increases your risk of
being burned by the flame (Figure 4).
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. Adjust
or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Figure 4: How to set flame for efficient cooking
Cookware Material Types
The most popular materials available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor; however, it will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
• Porcelain - enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.
Using Proper Cookware
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop
when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the
cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms
that rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware,
check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Check for flat bottom cookware
Figure 6: Cookware recommendations
Please note: The size and type of utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame
setting needed for best cooking results.
Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure
cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
IMPORTANT! Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over
two different surface cooking areas heating at the same time.
This can cause uneven heating results.
