BURNER CAPS AND GRATES
The burners and the burner caps must be properly
placed for the cooktop to function properly.
The burner grates must be properly placed inside
the recess on the cooktop.
MAKING SURE THE FLAME IS OPTIMAL
The fl ame should be stable with no excessive noi-
se or fl uttering. The color should be blue with no
yellow on the tips. It is not uncommon to see oran-
ge in the fl ame color; this indicates the burning of
airborne impurities in the gas and will disappear
with use.
• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the
primary icon are normal.
• The fl ame should burn completely around the
burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is
positioned
• Correctly on the base and that the ports are not
blocked.
The correct fl ame height depends on:
• size and material of pan being used
• food being cooked
• amount of liquid in the pan.
Never extend the fl ame beyond the base of the
pan. Use a low or medium fl ame for pan materials
that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain co-
ated steel or glass-ceramic.
Because the edges of the fl ame are much hotter
than its center, the fl ame tips should stay benea-
th the bottom of the cookware. Flame tips which
extend beyond the sides of the cookware emit un-
necessary heat into the room and can also dama-
ge cookware handles, which increases the risk of
injury.
USING THE GAS BURNERS
• Press in the control knob and turn it anti-clockwi-
se, to HIGH position.
• Continue to hold the knob in for 5 to 10 seconds
after the burner ignition before releasing
• Adjust fl ame with the knob as needed.
