Power Boost Burner*
There is one high speed burner located in
the right front position on your range.
This burner offer 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.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
When installing the grates, place the tab ends toward the
center, matching 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 porcelain finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.
Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burner
grate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.
The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may result
in spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
Notes:
• 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, slight yellow tips on the flames are accept-
able. 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.
• The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
Suggested heat settings:
LO: Food maintains a temperature above
140° F without continuing to cook. Food
is heated on a higher flame size until it
reaches this temperature and then the
flame size is reduced. Some cooking may
take place on the LO setting if the pan is
covered.
MED: An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking.
Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is
used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the
same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
HI: Use to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
Operating During a
Power Failure
CAUTION
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the knob to LITE.
Cooktop
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.
Unlike a range with standard gas burners,
this cooktop does not lift-up nor is it
removable. Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop for any reason.
Sealed Gas Burners
The sealed burners of your range 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 should be cleaned after each use. The
head portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(See pages 6-7 for cleaning directions.)
The burner heads must be correctly placed on the burner
base for proper operation of the burner.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to LITE.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
