Use the following chart as a guide when setting Simmer Burner 
heat levels. 
Medium and Small Burner Control
NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob.
All of the burner controls provide a range of cooking settings from 
HI to LO.
The medium burner (12,500 Btu/h) provides the high heat setting, 
and is ideal for cooking medium-sized quantities of food or liquid 
and using medium-sized pots and pans.
The small burners (6,000 Btu/h) are ideal for small quantities of 
food or liquid and using small pots and pans. The lower power 
allows more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting.  
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control 
knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. 
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
