SETTING YOUR FLAME SIZEThe color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.If the flame extends beyond the outer edge of your cookware, reduce the flame setting.Start on the highest setting and lower the setting as needed for general cooking needs.

| High Flame | Boiling, Broiling, Searing |
| Medium Flame | Slow Boiling, Sauce and Gravy Thickening, Steaming, Sautéing |
| Low Flame | Simmering, Poaching, Stewing |
| These settings are based on medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. |
Using the Griddle
Your cooktop has two standard sized burners on the left side that can be used to heat larger cookware like the griddle.
- Center the griddle over the left side gas burners.
- Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium‑low setting.
The reversible griddle is ceramic-coated cast iron. Use non‑stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slowly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distribution for best cooking results.We recommend hand washing the griddle with a stiff brush and very hot water. Use a little soap if needed, and rinse well. Dry with a lint-free cloth and store in a dry place. The griddle is dishwasher-safe.
Care and Cleaning

For instructions on how to clean your cooktop grates and burners, refer to your Use & Care Manual.
