the simmer Plate has been specifically designed for simmering 

and holding food at the lowest safe temperature.  

the simmer 

Plate is to be used by setting the burner to its 

lowest 

setting

.  the simmer Plate has been specifically designed for 

simmering only

. the simmer Plate 

must be removed when 

cooking

.

  

to install your simmer Plate locate the five feet on the bottom, 

align with the five longest fingers on the cooktop grate then set 

the plate on top of the grate. when correctly installed, the simmer 

Plate will rest about 1/ inch above the top surface of the grate 

and will be locked in place to prevent turning.

Your simmer Plate has a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. take 

care in using abrasives on the  non-stick coating, as it will scratch. 

some wearing may occur on top of the simmer Plate offset 

fingers, this is normal with use. 

note:

non-stick coatings if used at high temperatures can be harmful to 

birds. avoid keeping pets (birds) in your kitchen during cooking.

7.   If a burner does not ignite, consult the troubleshooting section 

of this manual. 

8.  use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils that 

are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast 

iron cooking vessels. reduce the flame height until it covers 

approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter. this will ensure even 

heating within the utensil and reduce the likelihood of burning 

or scorching of food.

9.  reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the 

utensil. a flame that licks along the sides of the utensil is 

potentially dangerous. 

10.  Reduce the flame height, to the minimum level necessary, to 

perform the desired cooking process. remember that food 

cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a vigorous, 

rolling boil. maintaining a higher boil than is necessary wastes 

energy, cooks away moisture, and causes a loss in food flavor 

and nutrient level.

Sealed Burner Assembly

utensils will affect the overall safety and performance of cooktop 

cooking, so it is important to select them carefully. an improperly 

selected utensil will not cook efficiently or evenly. For best results, 

follow these guidelines:

1.  use medium to heavy-gauge metal cookware with flat and smooth 

bottoms for greatest efficiency.

.  use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain heat, odors, and steam.
