●After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust tie flame size.

●Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.

●Do not operate a 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.

●Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other matends on them.

Air Adjw@ent

An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner regulates the flow of air to the flame.

When the right amount of air flows into the burner, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet and have approximately 3/4-inch sharp blue cones. This is usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.

With too much air, the flame will be unsteady, possibly won’t burn rdl the way around, and will be noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.

With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue cones in the flame, you may see yellow tips and soot may accumulate on pots and pans.

To adjust the flow of air to the burners, rotate the shutters to allow more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.

How to Select Name Sbe

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookw~e you are using.

Almnin um: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quictiy and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an durrdnum stiet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting tids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Un&r some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are 2 types of glass cookware-those for oven use ody and those for top-of-rmge cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Hwtproof Gks Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stahdess Steel: This meti done has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metis for improved heat distribution. Combination meti skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
