Using the cooktop burners Flame level The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time. WARNING • Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a fire or physical injury. • When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on. • After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited even if the knob LED is on. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob. • Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking. • Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out. • If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak. • If the LED on the control knob doesn't go on when the surface burner has ignited, call a qualified service technician. • If the knob LED illuminates, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the control knob immediately. • Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. • Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them. Cookware Requirements • Flat bottom and straight sides • Tight-fitting lid • Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan. Material characteristics • Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting. • Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. • Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining. • Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well. • Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material. • Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for cooktop cooking or oven use. • Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop. Size limitations 10 inches or more 10 inches or more CAUTION • Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 10 inches or more on the RF or LF burner.
