ELECTRONIC IGNITERS:
If a burner does not re-ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not clicking, turn off the
burner. Check the circuit panel for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
BURNER EFFICIENCY:
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance.The burner flame should burn completely around the burner with no excessive noise or
lifting.The flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.
FLAME HEIGHT:
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size
of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food
and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
• For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the
bottom of the cooking utensil.
• Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan.
• Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic)
should be used with medium to low flames. If you are
cooking with a large amount of liquid a slightly larger flame
can be used.
BURNER GRATES:
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain coated for long life
and rust prevention. Hi-Temperature cushions allow the grate to
rest softly on the cooktop without scratching.The grates are
designed for easy sliding of pots across the grate tops.They were
designed in interlocking sections to make them safer, easier to
remove and clean. For additional cleaning tips see the care and
cleaning section.
