Using the cooktop burners
Flame level
The ames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not
extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.
WARNING
• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a re or physical injury.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the
ame to make sure it stays on.
• After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited even if
the knob LED is on. Adjust the level of the ame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All
surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualied service
technician. NEVER use an open ame to locate a leak.
• If the LED on the control knob doesn't go on when the surface burner has ignited,
call a qualied service technician.
• If the knob LED illuminates, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the
control knob immediately.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on
the grate. The nish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
Cookware
Requirements
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-tting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or
pan.
Material characteristics
• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specied for
cooktop cooking or oven use.
• Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's
directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.
Size limitations
10 inches
or more
10 inches
or more
CAUTION
• Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom
diameter of about 10 inches or more on
the RF or LF burner.
