Cooktop burners
Quality of Flames
On Natural Gas the burners’ fl ames should be a
blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the fl ames may be “softer”. The
cooktop burner fl ames may have a slight yellowish
tip.
If the fl ame burns with a long white tip you should
call for service.
Normal fl ame appearance
Burner head not placed correctly
on burner base
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS
UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of
diff erent sizes. Use utensils with fl at bottoms.
Do not use unstable pans and position the
handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the fl ames are under the pans. It’s not
safe to let the fl ames burn up the sides of the
pan; the handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve effi
ciency.
