BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.

• Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
• Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
• The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
• Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Assembly of the Burner Caps

Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Make sure the burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.

Important: The burner head has a hole that fits over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps. Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lids.
• The weight of the handle does not tilt the pan. Pan is well-balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot diameter to element size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than the element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts the pan.
• Pan is much smaller than the element.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum – Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper – Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless – Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor, but it will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once the cooking temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal – Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass – Slow heat conductor.

Install Burner Grates

To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only a completely flat-bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check the canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring the water to a boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to carry small amounts and light loads. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended period of time.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place the cooking utensil in the center of the surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stably on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

Set proper burner flame size

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue, and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if the flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking:

Start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).

For deep fat frying:

Use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep-fry too much food at once, as the food will neither brown nor cook properly

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the surface burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool. Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. To clean recessed and contoured areas of the cooktop:

• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up the spill with an absorbent cloth.
• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To clean burner heads:

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head. Clean with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.
3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.
4. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port.
5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner head has fully seated back into place and the burner cap is properly seated on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test placement; neither the cap nor the head should slide out of position.

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
• Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface, as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for major cleaning later.
