If the burner flame is yellow, lifts off the ports or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust.
+Match the pan size to the surface burner. The use of undersized pans will expose the flame.
+Do not allow large pansto extend over the control knobs. Heat trapped between large pans and the knobs could cause the knobs to become hot.
+Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
+Do not allow large pans to extend beyond the edge of the surface burner grates. Heat trapped between large pans and other surfaces could possibly cause surfaces to become hot to the touch or damage these areas.
To prevent damage to other surfaces when using a large pan, you may purchase a “Big Pot” Canning Grate (Model AG146) accessory. Contact your dealer or call
+Leave a minimum of 1 l/2” between the side of a pan and surrounding side surfaces,suchasacountertop backsplash or side walls. This will allow heat to escapeand prevent damage to the side surfaces.
