Guidelines for using the cooktop burners
There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle
simmering (620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter,
cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked
food hot.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could
discolor and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of
the range or another burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a
high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely
assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See‘Replacing the burner parts’
in ‘Care and cleaning’.
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and the
notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See
‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
and burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’
for advice.
