Cooktop Use

BURNER EFFICIENCY:
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient performance
of the cooktop burners.The burner flame should burn completely around the burner with no excessive
noise or lifting.The flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.
FLAME HEIGHT:
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size
of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food
and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
• For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the
bottom of the cooking utensil.
• Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan.
• Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic)
should be used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking
with a large amount of liquid a slightly larger flame can be
used.
BURNER GRATES:
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain coated for long life and rust prevention. Hi-Temperature
cushions allow the grate to rest softly on the cooktop without scratching.The grates are designed for
easy sliding of pots across the grate tops.They were designed in interlocking sections to make them
easier to remove and clean. For additional cleaning tips see the care and cleaning section.
