Flame Size, Proper Burner Adjustments | Frigidaire GAS RANG instruction

Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size	Type of Cooking
High Flame	Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame	Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame	Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

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.

Setting Surface

Controls

The controls shown below may not look identical to the Surface Controls knobs on your range; They are only representational.

Your range is equipped with 4 standard burners, 2 standard and 2 large burners, or 3 standard and 1 large burner. Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

For models equipped with the large burners, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

To operate the surface burner:

1.Place cooking utensil on burner.

2.Push the Surface Control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.

3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four 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.Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise 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 Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)

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.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
