BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Gas Surface Burners Burner Cap Your gas appliance is equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Burner Head Burner Cap Lip The smaller simmer burner (5k) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. Use middle oval burner (10k), left rear burner (9.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Installing Burner Grates Using Proper Cookware Do not use surface burners without burner caps and grates properly installed. Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware. Important: For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 3).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Cookware Material Types Home Canning The most popular materials available are: Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). • Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. • Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Operating the gas surface controls CAUTION IMPORTANT Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop. Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.
SETTING SURFACE BURNERS Setting proper surface burner flame size For most cooking: Start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Type of oven rack The oven is vented in the rear of the cooktop behind the burner grates. When the oven is on, hot air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
