PRELIMINARY
ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not re-ignite, listen for the click-
ing sound. If the igniter is not clicking, turn off
the burner. Check the circuit panel for a blown
fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
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 exces-
sive 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 uten-
sil, 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.
BURNER GRATES
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain
coated for long life and rust prevention. Hi-Tem-
perature 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 “Care
and Maintenance.”
• For safety reasons the flame must never
extend beyond the bottom of the cook-
ing 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.
