Flame Size
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the flame.

Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one
to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the
amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control 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 undercooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once asthe food wilt neither brown
nor cook properly.

Surface Burners
This range is equipped with 2 different sized sealed burners. The amount and type
of food being prepared, and the size and type of utensils being used will determine
the suitability of the surface burner used.
The larger surface burner is best utilized when bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature, preparing larger quantities of food, or using larger, heavier utensils.
The smaller surface burner is better utilized when preparing smaller quantities of
food, or food items which have a more delicate consistency.
