1. A yellow flame is an indication of incorrect fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU
output and carbon build up can occur.
2. When cooking at an altitude above 5,000 feet the flame may change
appearance and the flame BTU output will be lowered. Allow extra cooking
time.
3. Do not allow the tips of the flame to extend beyond pan or pot edge.
When this occurs heat is wasted and possibility of injury increases.
4. Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes prior to use.
• Clean all surfaces as soon as possible after boil overs or spillovers.
• Use warm soapy water to clean the burner grates, cooktops, painted
surfaces, porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces and plastic items
on your range or cooktop. Grit or acid-type cleaners may ruin the
surface.
• Use only non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pads.
• Do not allow foods containing acids (such as lemon or tomato
juice, or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids
may remove the glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills when cooktop is cool.
• Allow porcelain surfaces to cool before cleaning. Burns from the
heated surface may occur or the cooktop porcelain can crack.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a warm detergent solution is
generally enough to keep the cooktop clean. Wash, rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooktop when it is cool. Use a dry cloth or paper
towel while the surface is warm to the touch to clean splatters or spills.
Cleaning will be more difficult if spills bake on to the surface. Glass cleaner
sprayed on a paper towel should be used for the cooktop surface. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the surface. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel
wool. Harsh cleansers like bleach, ammonia and oven cleaner should NEVER
be used. The surface burner grate and caps should be cleaned using the same
guidelines as the cooktop surface.
Porcelain Enamel:
Porcelain enamel is a type of glass fused on steel at a very high temperature. It
is not extremely delicate but must be treated as glass. Sharp blows, radical surface
temperature changes, etc., will cause enamel to chip or crack. Some foods such
as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes and milk contain acids which can dull the
finish of the enamel. To avoid dulling the finish, wipe up the spill before it is
baked on. The surface is glass and must be given consideration when cleaning.
Steel wool and coarse, gritty cleanser will scratch or mar the surface. Any gentle
kitchen cleanser powder or grease cleaner will be suitable. For further information

Polish” at 800-325-4026.
