3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the correct size burner cap onto the correct size
burner base, making sure the alignment pins are properly
aligned with the burner cap.
On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has
a corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a
proper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the
burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the
burner base.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Burner Rotation
The right side burners can be rotated 180° to reduce the distance
between the front and back burners. This permits better heat
distribution when using oblong pans or griddles.
To Rotate Burners:
1. Make sure burners are cool before beginning rotation.
2. Remove right side grates and burner caps.
3. Lift burners from cooktop, as shown.
4. Rotate burners 180°, as shown.
5. Replace burners, with large hole over gas tube opening, and
small hole over the igniter. See “Sealed Surface Burners”
section for burner parts descriptions. Push burner down,
flush with cooktop.
6. Replace burner caps and grates.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
