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.
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONSCOOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
As previously stated in PROPER USAGE on page7, 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.
