INSTALLATION
Gas Information
For greater efficiency and lesser gas consumption, use the pots and pans with the right diameters
of the burners. Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans (refer to the table). A
smaller diameter pot or pan placed on a larger burner does not necessarily mean that the boiling
conditions are reached quicker.
How To Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only
serves to heat the handle.
INSTALLATION
Gas Information
During a power failure the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner
