Using the Cooktop

Flame Size

• For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the

process. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the

setting needed for cooking.

• For deep fat fry

ing, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is

too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly

that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fry too much food at once as the food will

neither brown nor cook properly.

•

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat

and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame. (See Figure 25)

Proper Burner Adjustments

• The color of t

he flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly

visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined.

• Adjust or cl

ean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burners, see instructions under “Care and

Cleaning”. (See Figures 22 and 23)
