USING THE RANGETOP

(CONTINUED)

FLAME HEIGHTFLAME HEIGHT

Proper flame height depends on the size of the pan being used, and the amount of food or liquid in

the pan. In other words, don’t use a small pan over a large flame. For safety reasons, control the flame

height so that it doesn’t go beyond, or curl up the sides of your pot or pan. This behavior results in

poor heating of the contents of the pan, burnt food on the sides of the pan, wasted fuel, etc.

Use a low or medium flame on items that heat slowly, such as glass-ceramic pots.

FLAME CHARACTERISTICSFLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Light blue flame - Natural gas normal flame

Light blue flame with yellow tips - LP gas normal flame

Yellow flame - Needs adjustment

If the flame is mostly or completely yellow, check the

position of the burner heads again for proper installation,

and/or review the FINAL SETUP section of the installation

manual for more details.

HOW TO USE YOUR RANGETOPHOW TO USE YOUR RANGETOP

DUAL FLOW BURNERSDUAL FLOW BURNERS

The benefit of the dual-flow burner is the amount of control and precision the burners give you,

allowing for the best results possible.

Simmer-Low is ideal for heating delicate foods without having the fear of burning, scalding, or boiling

over. Some suggestions include:

• Melting chocolate

• Heating milk or cream

• Melting sugar

• Slow cooking or braising

SINGLE FLOW BURNER (some models)SINGLE FLOW BURNER (some models)

Ideal Uses:

• Searing

• Boiling water

• Large stock pots – will allow for even heat distribution under larger surface areas

• Wok Cooking: We suggest a 14-16 inch [36-41 cm] wok for the best results.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONSCOOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

As previously stated in “PROPER USAGE” on page7, bakeware such as large casserole pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners. Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners

should be used with care and on medium to low flame settings to avoid a build-up of heat which could

distort the grates or the burner bowl.

Large stock pots should be staggered when used on the rangetop (see below).

Do not cook on aluminum foil or thin, disposable aluminum pans. These can melt.

Never let a pot boil dry. If left too long, the pan could melt, or damage the appliance.

Use only high-quality pans with metal handles. Some plastic handles could melt from the intense heat

of the burners.
