COOKTOP
NOTES:
5
•
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using
natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect.
Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the
warranty.)
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and
adjustment is not necessary.
•
With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner
is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.
•
If the control knob is turned very quickly from hi to lo, the flame may go out,
particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position,
wait several seconds and relight the burner.
• Leave a minimum of 1

/

" between side of pan and surrounding surfaces such as
countertop, back splashes or side walls, to allow heat to escape and avoid possible
damage to these areas.
•
To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or
pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To prevent the cooktop from
discoloring or staining:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon
as the cooktop has cooled as these
spills may discolor the porcelain.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your cooktop are
secured to the cooktop and are not
designed to be removed. Since the burners
are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.
However, the burner heads should be
cleaned after each use. (See page 9 for
cleaning directions.)
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping of the
cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a
pan on the grate. The grate’s porcelain
finish may chip without a pan to absorb
the heat from the burner flame.
Although the burner grates are durable,
they will gradually lose their shine and/or
discolor, due to the high temperatures of
the gas flame.
