Avoid leaving any burner on without a utensil. Doing so
can overheat the grate and cause the enamel finish of
the grate to become damaged.
Watch foods when heating them quickly on
HI. As soon as the food reaches cooking
temperature,
turn down the heat to the lowest setting
that will keep it cooking.
Medium

may be used for even
browning with little spattering.
It is also
used to maintain a boil with large quantities
ol food.
Low flame
may be used lor melting or
warming food. It Is also best for cooking
small quantities of food.
The lowest setting of the burner has a very
small flame to provide simmering capabil-
ity.
To simmer foods, set the cooktop
control knob to the lowest setting that will
maintain the desired simmer. If simmering
on one burner and other burners are turned
on, the gas flow of the simmering burner
may have to be adjusted.
If your simmering burner goes out when the other burn-
ers are on, adjust the simmering burner control knob
until burner re-ignites.
After re-ignition, set cooktop
control knob to the lowest setting that will retain a flame
on the burner.
