Cooktop
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 war-
ranty.)
With LP gas, slight 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 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.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
When installing the grates, place the straight ends toward the
center, matching the straight bars.
Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of
the cooktop.
Sealed 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 cap and base should be cleaned after
each use. The cap portion of the burner is easily removed for
cleaning. (See page 20 for cleaning directions.)
The burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base
for proper operation of the burner.
Power Boost High
Performance Burner
There is one 16,000 BTU* 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
Melt setting with a lower BTU* flame
for melting chocolate or butter.
* BTU ratings will vary when using
LP gas.
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.
