The Burner Flame
Keep your arms and face away from being
directly above the cooking area. Look through
the cooking grate and observe the burner's
flame below.
Flames should appear similar to the good
flame show in diagram right.
A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.
Some yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in
length are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue may not be completely
burned off, or the venturi may be clogged or may not be properly positioned over the
orifices. Allow the appliance to cool before repositioning the venturi over the valve and
orifices.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.
Caring for your cooktop:
Use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring
out the natural luster, lightly wipe surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the grain of stainless steel.
To Clean the Burner Grates- Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your
hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other material on them. The cast iron burner
grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry the grates with a
cloth - don't put them on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure the grates are positioned
securely over the burners. To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered
container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse
well and dry. An abrasive cleaner can be used for stubborn stains.
Allow burners to cool. Use mild detergent or degreaser to clean. Rinse with water and
towel dry. Be careful not to damage or bend the igniters or thermocouples on the
side of each burner when cleaning. Ensure the burners are completely dry before
attempting to inginte
Using a damp cloth, wipe with mild detergent or spray degreaser; rinse and dry. Do not
place in dishwasher.
