BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 9 Gas surface burner types The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases. • Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food. • Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. • The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop. Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Remove all packing material from the cooktop area. 2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners. Important: The burner head has a hole which fits over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps. Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed. On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1) should fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. Refer to Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
