Cooktop burners
Quality of Flames
On Natural Gas the burners’ flames should be a
blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the flames may be “softer”. The
cooktop burner flames may have a slight yellowish
tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should
call for service.
Normal flame appearance Burner not fitted correctly
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
different sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do
not use unstable pans and position the handles
away from the edge of the cooktop. Make sure
the flames are under the pans. It’s not safe to
let the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the
handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
Never Leave
Cooktop burners unattended at
high settings. Pans boiling over can cause
smoking and greasy spills may catch on fire.
Protective Liners
- Do not use aluminum foil to
line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil
liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or
fire and will damage the enamel finish. Never
allow aluminum foil to contact the heating
elements.
Glazed Cooking Utensils
- Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
range-top use without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
Utensil handles
should be turned inward and
not over adjacent burners. If handles are left
over adjacent burners they will get hot and
may burn.
Ovens
Use Care
When Opening Door
Let hot air and steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Never
heat unopened food containers.
Pressure
build up may make container burst and
cause injury.
Keep
oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks
Always place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range - children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
