Operating Your Rangetop Lighting a Burner WARNING • To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your rangetop without the burners completely and properly assembled (see page 5). The burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner cap. The burner rings must be properly seated for proper burner lighting and operation. • Keep the area around the rangetop clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Operating Your Rangetop Cooking Tips • Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic and cast iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure even heating and reduce scorching. • Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times. • Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and save energy.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Rangetop WARNING • Clean only the parts of the rangetop listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified. To keep the rangetop looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on.
Care and Cleaning 3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the burner bases, with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a firm toothbrush. Then, rinse the parts well with clean water. Dry all the parts thoroughly before reassembling them. Cleaning the Rangetop (cont.) Burner Components and Igniters WARNING 4.
