a blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish
fringe.
On Propane gas the fl ames may be “softer”.
The cooktop burner fl ames may have a slight
yellowish tip.

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 fl at bottoms.
Do not use unstable pans and position the
handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the fl ames are under the pans. It’s
not safe to let the fl ames burn up the sides of
the pan; the handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will
also improve effi ciency.
Never Leave Cooktop burners unattended
at high settings. Pans boiling over can
cause smoking and greasy spills may
catch on fi re.
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 fi re and will damage the enamel
fi nish. 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.
