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 High to Low, 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.
•
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To prevent the cooktop from discol-
oring 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.
The cooktop is designed with two con-
toured wells with removable porcelain cov-
ered drip pans to contain spills. (See page
18 for cleaning directions.)
HIGH PERFORMANCE
BURNER
(12,000 BTU*)
There is one high
speed burner on
your range, located
in the right front position. This burner
offers higher speed cooking that can be
used to quickly bring water to a boil and for
large-quantity cooking.
SIMMER BURNER
This burner is located in the left
rear position. The simmer burner
offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces
or melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
Unlike a range with stan-
dard gas burners, this
cooktop does not lift-
up nor is it removable.
Do not attempt to lift
the cooktop for any
reason.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your range are se-
cured 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. The head portion of
the burner on select models has a
removeable cap that is easily removed for
cleaning. (See pages 17-18 for cleaning di-
rections.)
The burner will operate effectively with or
without the burner cap.
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. When installing the grates,
place the tab ends toward the center, match-
ing the straight bars. 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 porce-
lain 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.
