POWER FLO™ BURNERS
Your new gas range is equipped with the l atest in
burner techno l ogy . The Power - F I o™ burners are
designed for maximum contro l and the precise use

of heat where it matters most The arge top
spreads the simmer flame over the bottom of a pot
to avoid too much heat being concentrated in the
l
center, thus avoiding burning of de icate sauces
l
The flame ring at the bottom stabi izes the main
ports so as to achieve higher heat and maintain
proper combustion of the burners, l eading to greater
efficiency and no ye ll ow tips . I t is a l ways ON when

All the range-top burners have electronic spark

When the main burner flame is blown out, it will relight.

USING THE RANGE-TOP BURNERS
ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If the burner does not click, TURN
OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit
breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit
breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see
page 25 "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
f user to
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the
.
igniters -clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance of the range-top burners.
l
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 techni-
cian .should adjust the flame. During initial use,
foreign particles in the gas line, or dust in the air around
LGR SERIES
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.
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 s i d e o f t h e p a n . Utensils which con-
duct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be
used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking
with a large pot, a larger flame can be used
