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.
BURNERS
SEALED TOP BURNERS
(w/ Grates removed)
The Sealed Top Burners must be kept clean. Cleaning of the sealed top burners should include the
igniter.
The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat set-
tings and there are no fixed positions on the control
knobs between HI and LO. To turn the cooktop burner
on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclock-
wise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will
be heard. When the gas has been ignited by the
electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired
setting. (This step turns off the igniter and the clicking
sound should stop.)
NOTE: The igniter will continue to click as long as a
control knob is in the “LITE” position.
CAUTION: When turning on any cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning
the burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the
“LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does
light. This could cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.
BURNER GRATES
The burner grates are heavy cast iron.They were
designed in sections to make them easier to remove
and clean.
