COOKTOP OPERATION
Simmer and Boil
1. A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for
cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.
2. The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range.
This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta cooking.
Flame Size
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted
The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause
an range flame during initial operation
Power Failure
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five
minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a
burner and turn the knob counterclockwise to “HI”. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
If the power fails, it is not capable of being safely placed in operation and user that no
attempt should be made to operate during power failure.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe
up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cooktop and are designed to be
removed. Boil over or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be
cleaned after each use.
