ELECTRONIC IGNITERS:
If a burner does not light or re-ignite,listen for the clicking sound.If all the igniters are not clicking,turn
off the burner. Check the circuit panel for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If one burner is not
lighting,see page 9 for cleaning instructions.
BURNER EFFICIENCY:
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient performance.
The burner flame should burn completely around the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.
FLAME HEIGHT:
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the
material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the 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 side 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 amount of liquid a
slightly larger flame can be used.
BURNER GRATES:
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain coated for long
life and rust prevention. Hi-Temperature cushions allow the
grate to rest softly on the cooktop without scratching. The
grates are designed for easy sliding of pots across the grate
tops.They were designed in interlocking sections to make them
safer, easier to remove and clean. For additional cleaning tips
see the care and maintenance section.
