ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound.
If the burner does not click, TURN OFF THE
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a
blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the
igniter still fails to operate, see page 25
"Troubleshooting", "Before calling For Service".
NOTE. If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned "off". This
"extension pop" is normal for propane gas
.

CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the
igniters -clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance of the range-top burners.
The burner flame should burn completely around
the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips.
An improper air—gas mixture may cause either a
burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. It is
recommended that flame adjustment be performed
by a qualified technician. During initial use, foreign
particles in the gas line, or dust in the air around the
appliance may cause an orange flame. This will
disappear with use.
POWER-FLO™ BURNERS
Your new gas range is equipped with the latest in burner
technology. The Power-FIo™ burners are designed for
maximum control and the precise use of heat where it
matters most. The large top-cap spreads the simmer
flame over the bottom of a pot to avoid too much heat
being concentrated in the center, thus avoiding burning of
delicate sauces. The flame ring at the bottom stabilizes
the main ports so as to achieve higher heat and maintain
proper combustion of the burners, leading to greater
efficiency and no yellow tips. It is always ON when the
burner is in use. The burner should never be operated if
the cap is not in place.
All the range-top burners have electronic spark
ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots.
When the main burner flame is blown out, it will relight
SIMMERING
Your new range-top has exceptionally low simmering
capabilities. The large cap serves as a heat diffuser to
diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid having a center
hot spot. Keep in mind that because of the high heat
capacity of the outer burner, and the mass of the burner
grates (they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional
grates), the retained heat may continue to cook some
foods after the burner has been turned off.
When using the simmer feature, turn the main burner
knob down to the simmer position. Should a strong
draft or boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will
relight automatically.

USING THE RANGE-TOP BURNERS
FLAME HEIGHT
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on
the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil.
Following are some basic rules for selecting
flame height.
For safety reasons the flame must never extend be-
yond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow
flames to curl up the s i d e o f t h e p a n . Utensils
which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic)
should be used with medium to low flames. If you are
cooking with a large pot, a larger flame can be used.
