IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP - 1

CAUTION

Use Proper Flame Size - Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Using Proper Cookware - 1
Figure 2: Testing Cookware

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

  • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
  • Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).
  • Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
  • Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
  • Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
  • Glass - Slow heat conductor.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Cookware Material Types - 1

  • Flat bottom and straight sides.
  • Tight fitting lids.
  • Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
  • Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
    Made of material that conducts heat well.
    Easy to clean.
    Always match pot diameter to element size.

  • P an is much smaller than the element.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the burner. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for use and care of cookware.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

Install Burner Grates

To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.. The grates have tabs that interlock, so it is important to place the center grate first.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Install Burner Grates - 1

Figure 4: Install grates middle-first

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Install Burner Grates - 3

IMPORTANT

  • Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
    Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
  • Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.

Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

  1. The SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
  2. The STANDARD sized burners are used for most surface cooking needs.
  3. The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

  1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
  2. Push the burner's surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).
  3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position (4). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.

Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Setting a surface burner: - 1
Figure 7: Surface control knob

NOTE

  • When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
  • In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may 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. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - CAUTION - 1

CAUTION

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 8).

Set proper burner flame size

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface 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 under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

IKEA FORSHÄLLAN - Set proper burner flame size - 1
Figure 8: Proper burner flame

Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cooking

Flame size Typepe of cooking
High flame Startmost foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium flameMaintain a slow boil; thicken sauc- es, gravies; steaming
Low flame Keepfoods cooking; 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 a Griddle (not included)

Use non-stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slowly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distribution for best cooking results.

Before first use:

  • Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

After each use:

  • Store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
    After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water.

Using the Griddle:

  • Place the griddle centered over the left side gas burners.
  • Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
  • DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

  • Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
  • Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
  • It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
  • Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
  • Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
  • Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
  • It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
