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, 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.
•
Refer to page 23 to adjust the LOW setting, if needed.
•
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acid or sugar spills as soon as the cooktop has
cooled as these spills may discolor the porcelain.
The cooktop is designed
with two contoured wells
with removable porcelain
covered drip pans to con-
tain spills. (See page 20
for cleaning directions.)
Drip Pan
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 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 heads should be cleaned after each use.
The head portion of the burner has a removable cap that is
easily removed for cleaning. (See page 19 for cleaning
directions.)
The burner will operate effectively with or without the burner
cap.
High Performance Burner(s)
(12,000 BTU*)
There are one or two high speed burners on your range.
Ranges with one high speed burner have the
burner located in the right front position.
Ranges with two high speed burners have the
burners located in the right front and left rear
positions. These burners offer higher speed cook-
ing that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil
and for large-quantity cooking.
Simmer Burner
(select models)
Select range models offer one simmer burner. This
burner is located in the right rear position. The
simmer burner offers a lower BTU flame for deli-
cate sauces or melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
Burner Grates
The grates must be prop-
erly positioned before
cooking. Improper in-
stallation 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.
