Gas burners

The gas burners design of these cooktop models, allow a pleasing option for cooking where size, power and simmering are a primary concern.

Burners with one ring flame

These gas burner line is engineered to match a wide size and power capacity. The use of this burner is very simple; just push and turn the knob counter clockwise and set to the desired position from Hi to LO heat level (see chart guide when setting heat level). Its ignition device can be standard or with automatic re-ignition.

Models with automatic re-ignition

The electronic auto re-ignition, lights the surface burners when the control knob are turned at any valve rotation that admits sufficient gas flow to support a flame. If any burner flame goes out due to a draft or other adversity, the igniter automatically sparks on all burners to relight the flame.

NOTE: this feature is provided as a convenience and is not intended as a safety feature.

Use & Care Manual

ENGLISH

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.

Use & Care Manual

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.

Use & Care Manual

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.

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.
