Using The Range-Top / Power-Flo™ Burners - Capital GSCR604GW Use And Installation Manual

POWER-FLO™ BURNERS
Your new gas range is equipped with the latest in
burner technology. The Power-Flo™ burners are
designed for maximum control and the precise use
of heat where it matters most. The large top-cap
spreads the simmer flame over the bottom of a pot
to avoid too much heat being concentrated in the
center, thus avoiding burning of delicate sauces.
The flame ring at the bottom stabilizes the main
ports so as to achieve higher heat and maintain
proper combustion of the burners, leading to greater
efficiency and no yellow tips. It is always ON when
the burner is in use. The burner should never be
operated if the cap is not in place.
All the range-top burners have electronic spark
ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots.
When the main burner flame is blown out, it will relight.
SIMMERING
Your new range-top has exceptionally low simmering
capabilities. The large cap serves as a heat diffuser to
spread out the heat to avoid having a center hot spot.
keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity
of the outer burner, and the mass of the burner grates
(they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional
grates), some foods may continue to cook by retained
heat after the burner has been turned off.
When using the simmer, turn the main burner knob
down to the simmer position. Should a strong draft
or boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will relight
automatically as the main burner would.

ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If the burner does not click, TURN OFF
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown
fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still
fails to operate, see page 19 "Troubleshooting",
"Before calling For Service".
NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned "off". This
"extinction pop" is normal for propane gas.
BURNER EFFICIENCY AND
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the
igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance of the range-top burners.
The burner flame should burn completely around
the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips.
An improper air–gas mixture may cause either a
burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. A technician
should adjust the flame. During initial use, foreign
particles in the gas line, or dust in the air around
the appliance may cause an orange flame. This will
disappear with use.

FLAME HEIGHT
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on
the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the
material of the cooking utensil, the amount and
type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil.
Following are some basic rules for selecting
flame height.
For safety reasons the flame must never
extend beyond the bottom of the cooking
utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the
of the pan.
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such
as glass-ceramic) should be used with
medium to low flames. If you are cooking
with a large amount of liquid, a larger flame
can be used.
