Placement of Burner Heads and Caps
1) Place a burner cap on each burner
head, matching the cap size to the
head size. The cap for each burner
has an inner locating ring which centers
the cap correctly on the burner head.
Be sure that all the burner caps and
burner heads are correctly placed
BEFORE using your appliance. (See
Figure 27)
2) Make sure each burner cap is properly
aligned and level. (See Figure 28)
3) Turn the burner on to determine if it will
light. If the burner does not light,
contact a qualified service center.
4) Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.

Cooktop Using Pots and Pans
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the appliance when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooking surface.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being
prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency: Use only flat-bottomed pans of dimensions
suitable for the burners, as shown in the table below. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the pan. There should be no gaps between the pan and ruler. As soon as a liquid comes
to a boil take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it simmering. (See Figure 29)
Specialty pans (lobster pots and pressure cookers) may be used but must conform to the
recommended cookware requirements.
During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully because these
substances may catch fire if brought to high temperatures.
