Simmering
Your new professional gas range has
exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The
center simmer cap serves as a heat diffuser to
spread out the heat to avoid having a cemer hot
spot. Keep in mind flaat because of the high heat
capacity of the ouler burner, and Ilae mass of the
cast iron burner grates (they retain heat longer
than lighter, conventional grates), some foods
may- continue m cook by retained heat after the
burner has been turned off.
The simmer burner is lit from the outside burner
flame,
The flame travels fl,rough Ille simmer ignition
channels and crosses over onto the simmer
burner localedjust beneath the simmer cap.
When lighting only Ille simmer burner, always
light the main bul-ner fiE'st. This will in mrn
provide the ignition source for the simmer
burner. Ensure that dae simmer ports are lit
before mining Ihe control knob down to Ihe
simmer position. Should a slrong draft or
boilover extingafish the simmer flame it will not
relight automatically as the outer burner would.
Burner

characteristics
The burner flame should burn completely
around and wilhin the burner with no excessive
noise or lifting. Inne flame should be blue in
color and stable with no yellow tips.
An improper air-gas mixture may cause either
a burner flutter or a yellow-tipped flame.
A technician should adjust the flame.
During initial use, foreign particles in flae gas
line, or dust in flae air or around the appliance
may cause an oFange flame. This will disappear
with use.
