Using the Cooktop
Flame Size
• For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the
process. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for cooking.
• For deep fat fry
ing, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is
too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly
that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fry too much food at once as the food will
neither brown nor cook properly.
•
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat
and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame. (See Figure 25)
Proper Burner Adjustments
• The color of t
he flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly
visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined.
• Adjust or cl
ean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burners, see instructions under “Care and
Cleaning”. (See Figures 22 and 23)
