Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning. Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

Setting Surface Controls

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)

5. To turn the burner off, turn the control knob as far as it ill go, to the OFF position.

Electric Ignition Models

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bot- tom. There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intend- ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in- structions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Note: Do not use griddle over more than one burner. That can damage your cooktop and that can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allow-

*GOOD

Flat bottom and straight sides.

Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared.

Made of a material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

POOR

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs unit by more than one inch or 2.5 cm.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Flame extends beyond unit

able current standards. That can hazard- ous to your health.

*Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
