[. . . ] The STANDARD sized burners are used for most surface cooking needs. This burner is located at the left rear positions on the 30" & 36" cooktop (and there is one more standard burner located at the right front position on the 36" cooktop models). The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly. *Flame size High Flame type of cooking Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling. caution do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame. Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming. Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing. caution do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat. correct incorrect imPortant Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame. note Figure 1 imPortant In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. *Note: Settings are based on using mediumweight metal or aluminum pans. settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a welllighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp.
