FLAME SIZE
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete
theprocess.Usethechartbelowasaguidefordeterminingproperamesizeforvarious

For deep fat frying, 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 fat fry too much
food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
