Burner use guidelines
Burner output
All burners have the same low turn-down setting (
hr). Use
for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering
SIM
soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
For cooking that requires intense heat use the burners listed below. These have a higher
maximum output (23,500 BTU/hr for Natural gas) than other burners (17,000 BTU/hr for LP
gas).
RGV3-485GD models: Center burner
RGV3-488 and RGV3-486GD models: Front left or front right burner
All other models: Front left burner
Use and care
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
z
spills that may ignite.
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor
z
and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don't extend over the edge of the
z
cooktop or another burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
z
setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are correctly fitted. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled
z
burners may produce dangerous flames. See 'Replacing burner parts'.
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, ensure the affected burners
z
are cleaned before using them again. Food residue may clog the ignitor 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 regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
z
and burn without fluttering around the burner cap. If not, see 'Troubleshooting'
for advice.
Use woks only with a wok ring. Wok rings can be purchased separately through your
z
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Customer Care. To use, place the wok ring over the grates,
making sure the small protrusions on its bottom straddle the grate fingers. The wok ring
should be stable and unable to rotate.
