USING THE RANGETOP BURNERS
CAPITAL RANGE TOP BURNERS
Your new gas range is equipped with the latest in burner technology and is configured with either the Capital Open
Burner system or the Capital Sealed Burner system. Both systems are the most powerful standard burners of
their kind on the market today.
CAPITAL OPEN BURNERS
All Open Burner ranges are equipped with one small pan
burner at the back left position on the range top and all
others rated at 23.000 BTU (20,000 BTU for LP)
When using the simmer feature, turn the main burner knob
down to the simmer position.
CAPITAL SEALED BURNERS
Sealed Burner ranges are equipped with the high BTU
burner at all positions.
When using the simmer feature, turn the main burner knob
down to the simmer position.
ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
All the range-top burners have electronic spark ignition. If a burner does not immediately ignite TURN OFF THE
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to
reignite. If the igniter still fails see the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of this manual.
PROPER FLAME HEIGHT
BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for good ignition and efficient performance of the range top burners.
The burner flame is the cone of flame touching the burner. The flames should burn all around the burner without excessive noise or
lifting. The flame should be blue in color and stable without yellow tips.
For Open Burners, some orange present in the large corona above the main flames is normal.
An improper air / gas mixture may cause the burner to flutter or yellow tipped flames. A qualified technician should adjust the burner.
During initial use, foreign particles in the gas line or dust in the air may cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.
USING THE RANGETOP BURNERS
THE CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are readily associated with the burners they control. The RANGETOP control knobs are
labeled in front of the burners. The oven control is placed slightly higher than the other control knobs. This
is due to the physical size of the commercial type thermostats used on the product.
BURNER GRATES
The burner grates are a heavy cast iron. They are designed in sections to make them easier to remove and clean.
CAUTION! When turning on any RANGETOP burner, be sure to stop at the "LITE" position before turning the
burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the "LITE" position, to HI,
MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or damage to the
surrounding counter top.
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking 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 sides 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 pot, a
larger flame can be used.
NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop flash may occur at the burner ports shortly after the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction
pop” is normal for propane gas
