Manual

Using the Cooktop English 22

Control Knobs

The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front

and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and

below the pair of burners on the control panel. Each burner

has its own control knob. The symbol above each control

knob identifies the burner position on the cooktop.

Operation of the Burners

1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to

the HI setting on the knob.

– The igniter for the selected burner clicks and

sparks.

– After burner ignition, the igniter stops clicking.

2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and

SIM.

– The blue signal light, between the burner knobs,

will light when adjacent burners are lit. The light will

remain on until the adjacent burners are turned off.

ExtraLow

Burners

The controls for the ExtraLow burners have flame settings

even lower than the standard SIM settings.

The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional

range between the SIM and XLO

settings. When the knob

is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on. By

varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is

reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example,

these very low settings are suitable for simmering and

poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked

foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Operation of the ExtraLow

Burner

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the

flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53

seconds of each minute.

• When the knob is rotated just beyond the SIM setting,

the flame will cycle ON for approximately 53 seconds

and OFF for 7 seconds of each minute.

• To vary the amount of low heat, the control can be set

anywhere within the SIM and XLO range marked on

the knob.

ExtraLow

Techniques

• The type and quantity of food affects which setting to

use.

• The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type,

material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the

consistency of the cooking temperature.

• To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a

rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the

heat to a setting just below SIM.

• Check periodically to see if the control knob should be

turned to another setting.

• If an over-size pan is used, the simmer action may

occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the

temperature throughout the food, stir the food around

the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

• It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.

This is especially important when simmering for several

hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or

beans.

• When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small

steps.

• If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food

back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

• It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately

after the food has been stirred.

• There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and

no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the

flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on

the liquid’s surface.

POWERBOOST

The POWERBOOST, or XHI, is located at the right-front

position of the rangetop. It offers the convenience to quickly

boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use of the

SIM and XLO remains the same as the other XLO Knobs.

What is pyrolysis? Verified

Some ovens are equipped with a pyrolysis function. This is a cleaning system that burns dirt and fat in the oven by using very high temperatures. After pyrolysis, all the dirt will have turned to ash and can be easily removed. If the oven has a pyrolysis function, it is advisable to use it 3 to 4 times a year to keep the oven clean.

Can I connect a range to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a range, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the range is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Can I prepare several items simultaneously by using more grill trays? Verified

Technically this is possible. However, it depends on the type of food if you need to adjust the preparation time or swap the trays halfway during the preparation.

When I use the oven there often food remains that fall on the bottom, causing smoke. How can I prevent this? Verified

Many ovens come with both a grid and a baking tray. When food is prepared on the grid, the baking tray can be placed on the bottom to prevent food remains from burning and causing smoke.
