Use & Care Manual
Cooktop Use
SIMMER AND BOIL
A smaller flame will give the best simmer results, small flames offer precise cooking performance
for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter and for cooking that need to
cook over low heat for a long time.
The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range, this
setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.
FLAME SIZE
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
The flame should be steady and blue in color, foreign material in the gas line may cause an
orange flame during initial operation.
POWER FAILURE
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for
any gas to dissipate, repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a
burner and turn knob counterclockwise to "Hi", After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
COOKTOP
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up
acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed.
Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after
each use.
