OPERATION OF COOKTOP
Top Burner Operation
Note: When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be reached is the boiling
point. When the liquid starts to boil, decrease the size of the flame until you reach the
minimum flame that will hold the boil. This will save gas. It will also lessen the possibility
of burning food or boil overs, and help to keep your kitchen cooler. Use stable cookware
with flat bottoms and always place the cookware on the burner grate before lighting the
burner. Unstable or rounded bottom cookware will not contact properly with the grate
and will affect the cooking efficiency. Select cookware large enough to avoid spillovers.
Over-sized cookware (diameters exceeding 8 1/2'') can cause the cooktop finish to
discolor, craze or chip. Damage caused by oversized cookware, such as those sometimes
used in canning, are not covered by the warranty. The finish has been manufactured to a
commercially acceptable standard and its condition is dependent upon the care of the
user.
Top Burner Valves
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is does not extend beyond the edge
of the cookware. As a matter of safety, it's recommended that you comply with these
instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both
inefficient and unsafe. The flame should
always be adjusted so that it is no larger
than the bottom of the cookware.
Fluctuations in flame size could be caused
by pressure variations, improperly
positioned burners, damage or debris.
NEVER LEAVE THE CONTROL KNOBS IN ANY POSITION OTHER
THAN "OFF" IF THE IGNITORS OR BURNERS AREN'T WORKING
PROPERLY.
