SURFACE COOKING

HOW A SURFACE BURNER WORKS

When the surface burner valve (A) is turned on, gas enters the mixer tube or venturi (B) and comes in contact with air. This air/gas mixture flows to the burner head (C) and is lighted by either the flame from the pilot or a spark from the solid state iqnitor (D).

INFORMATION

HOW TO OPERATE SURFACE BURNERS WITH PILOTS

Your range or built-in surface unit is equipped with one of two types of surface burner valves. They can be identi- fied by the markings on the control. One type of burner has HIGH (START) and OFF printed on the control. This is called an EFFLEX@ burner. The other type of burner has HIGH (START), MEDIUM and WARM printed on the control with “click” sounds to identify these 3 set- tings. This is called a Tri-Temp@ burner.

To operate elther type of burner: Push in and turn con- trol to the left to HIGH (START). When the burner lights, turn control back to the desired flame size.

If the flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off.lF GAS HAS ACCUMULATED AND A STRONG GAS ODOR IS DETECTED, WAIT 5 MIN- UTES FOR THE GAS ODOR TO DISAPPEAR BEFORE RELIGHTING BURNER. To relight burner, push in and turn knob to HIGH.

A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds The cone-shaped flame will be clear blue in color with a clearly defined inner cone. There should be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air and gas. This wastes fuel so have a serviceman adjust the air/gas mix- ture if a yellow flame ever occurs.

SELECTING CORRECT FLAME SIZE

Use the HIGH flame setting to quickly bring foods to a boil or to begin a cooking operation. Then reduce to a lower setting to continue cooking. Never leave food un- attended over a high flame setting.

HOW TO OPERATE SURFACE BURNERS WITH SOLID STATE IGNITION

Solid State Ignition eliminates the pilots. Rangesor built- in surface units equipped with solid state ignition operate the same as conventional ranges.

To operate this type burner:

Push in and turn control to the left past HIGH to the (START) position. This is the light position. The click- ing sound indicates that the ignitor is producing sparks to light the surface burner. Sometimes you may notice some static interference with your radio, television or stereo system when the ignitor is pro- ducing sparks.

When the burner lights, turn the control back to the desired setting. If selecting a high flame setting, ad- just the knob until there is no clicking sound. The clicking sound will stop and the ignitor will turn off. Do not leave the control in the (START) position once the burner lights.

If the flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. IF GAS HAS ACCUMULATED AND A STRONG GAS ODOR IS DETECTED, WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE GAS ODOR TO DISAPPEAR BEFORE RELIGHTING BURNER.

HIGH

(START)

MEDIUM is used to continue a cooking operation. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than that needed to maintain a gentle boil. Remem- ber, water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Use WARM to keep food at serving temperatures without further cooking. You may find that some cooking may take place if the cooking utensil is covered.
