•With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the primary cone are normal.

•The flame should burn completely around the burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly on the base and that the ports are not blocked.

•The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or fluttering.

WARNING:

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances, the burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with Gas. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Cookware Recommendations

WARNING:

To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or cookware, please observe the following:

•Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on the cooktop.

•Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used on the cooktop.

2” (51 mm)

Figure 14: Base Diameter

•Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A

5-1/2" (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest recommended.

Figure 15: Balanced Pan

• Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without rocking or wobbling.

• Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.
