Use and Care Guide

USING THE RANGETOP BURNERS

CAPITAL RANGE TOP BURNERS

Your new gas range is equipped with the latest in burner technology and is configured with either the Capital Open

Burner system or the Capital Sealed Burner system . Both systems are the most powerful standard burners of

their kind on the market today.

CAPITAL OPEN BURNERS

All Open Burner ranges are equipped with one small pan

burner at the back left position on the range top and all

others rated at 23.000 BTU (20,000 BTU for LP)

When using the simmer feature, turn the main burner knob

down to the simmer position.

CAPITAL SEALED BURNERS

Sealed Burner ranges are equipped with the high BTU

burner at all positions.

When using the simmer feature, turn the main burner knob

down to the simmer position.

ELECTRONIC IGNITERS

All the range-top burners have electronic spark ignition. If a burner does not immediately ignite TURN OFF THE

BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to

reignite. If the igniter still fails see the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of this manual.

PROPER FLAME HEIGHT

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for good ignition and efficient performance of the range top burners.

The burner flame is the cone of flame touching the burner. The flames should burn all around the burner without excessive noise or

lifting. The flame should be blue in color and stable without yellow tips.

For Open Burners, some orange present in the large corona above the main flames is normal.

An improper air / gas mixture may cause the burner to flutter or yellow tipped flames. A qualified technician should adjust the burner.

During initial use, foreign particles in the gas line or dust in the air may cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.

USING THE RANGETOP BURNERS

THE CONTROL KNOBS

The control knobs are readily associated with the burners they control. The RANGETOP control knobs are

labeled in front of the burners. The oven control is placed slightly higher than the other control knobs. This

is due to the physical size of the commercial type thermostats used on the product.

BURNER GRATES

The burner grates are a heavy cast iron. They are designed in sections to make them easier to remove and clean.

CAUTION! When turning on any RANGETOP burner, be sure to stop at the "LITE" position before turning the

burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the "LITE" position, to HI,

MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or damage to the

surrounding counter top.

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil. Following are some basic rules for

selecting flame height.

For safety reasons, the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the sides of

the pan.

Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large pot, a

larger flame can be used.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop flash may occur at the burner ports shortly after the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction

pop” is normal for propane gas
