Guidelines for using the cooktop burners:
• The dual burners feature a low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering
(620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking
rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked
food hot.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spills that may ignite.
• Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides.
This could discolor and damage the cookware and pose a potential burn
hazard.
• Keep pot handles out of the way. Turn handles towards the center of the
cooktop so that they don’t extend over the edge of the range or an adjacent
burner.
• Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat and/or ignite very
quickly, particularly on a high setting.
• Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or
incompletely assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See
‘Replacing The Burner Parts’ in ‘Care and Cleaning’.
• Keep the burners clean. After a spill or boilover, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter
and the notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning
correctly. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ for instructions.
• Check that the burner flames are even and regular. They should be blue
with no yellow tipping, and they should burn without fluttering all around the
burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
