Burner Use Suggestions
Use the right front, right rear or left rear burners for simmering, or for cooking smaller quantities of food requiring small cookware. Use the left front POWER Burner for bringing liquids to a rapid boil, cooking large quantities of food, or for deep-fat frying requiring large cookware.
The Burner Flames
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2" and 3/4" long.
Super Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap and gas spreader
Always keep the burner cap and gas spreader in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and spreader will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the part after a spillover and routinely remove and clean according to the "General Cleaning" section.
Burner base and injector
Gas must flow freely throughout the injector orifice to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the injector orifice opening. Protect it during cleaning.
ENGLISH
Be sure when lighting the burner:  Gas spreader pin is properly aligned with burner
base slot.
 Cap pin is properly aligned with gas spreader slot.
Burner ports
Check burner flames occasionally. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean gas burner: IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls
are off and the cooktop is cool.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to cleaning section.
2. Remove the burner spreader. Clean the gas tube opening and burner port according to cleaning section.
3. Clean the burner base with a damp cloth (keep the gas injector area free of cleaning agents and any other material from entering the injector orifice).
4. Replace the burner spreader and cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the slots.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap and spreader alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the gas burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminium and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminium cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminium. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
Cookware Characteristics
Aluminum: Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast Iron: Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass: Follow manufacturer's instructions. Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
Copper: Heats very quickly and evenly. Earthenware: Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Use on low heat settings. Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron: See
stainless steel or cast iron. Stainless steel: Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminium or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
ENGLISH
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
