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.
