USING YOUR COOKTOP, CONT. 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. SEALED BURNERS The sealed burners of your cooktop 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. (See page 9 for cleaning directions.) 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, 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 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. • To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan. BURNER GRATES The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. 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. Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame. 5
