Gas Surface Burners
Your gas appliance is equipped with different sized surface
burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is
important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared.
The smaller simmer burner (5k) is best suited for simmering
delicate sauces, etc.
Use middle oval burner (10k), left rear burner (9.5k), or left
front burner (15k) for most cooking needs.
The larger power burners at the front right (18.2k) is recom-
mended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature
and when preparing larger quantities of food
.
Burner Caps and Burner Grates Assembly
To prevent flare-ups use the cooktop with all burner caps
properly installed.
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. If the burner
cap is not assembled properly, the burner will not light.
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.
ATTENTION: Do not slide the burner caps on the cooktop,
doing so can damage the surface.
