Before Setting Surface Controls 9 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Gas Surface Burners Your appliance is equipped with gas surface burners that have different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases (Figure 1). Regardless of size or location, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan.
Before Setting Surface Controls Assembling the G5 burners IMPORTANT! For proper ignition: Burner Ring Alignment Tab Must Align with Burner Base Alignment Tab Slot. NOTE: When the burner ring is properly seated, it will click into place. When the burner cap is properly set in place it should not move out of the recessed area of the burner head.
Before Setting Surface Controls 11 Setting Proper Burner Flame Size Cookware Material Types The most popular materials available are: Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 5). • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using a Griddle A griddle (optional) is intended for direct food cooking. Do not use pans or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. With the griddle in position over the burners, set the griddle on top of the grates. A griddle can be purchased as an accessory by ordering online at www.electrolux-store.com/cooking-accessories.html. Always place the griddle on the grate before lighting the burner.
