Burner Performance CAUTION: Never cover control knobs or surrounding control surface with utensils, towels, or other objects. Never obstruct free air passage past the control knobs. The knob openings have been sized to properly control air entry to the interior of the appliance during operation. This appliance has no air shutters. Primary air adjustments are unnecessary. The burners are designed to provide optimum aeration for all gases without air shutters. When operating properly, burners should produce clearly defined, even blue flames. If the flames have yellow tips or are hazy and otherwise appear to have insufficient air, obtain the services of a qualified service technician. Some yellow tipping on LP gas is normal. Specified input rates are as shown in figures 15 and 16 below. 5 BURNER MODEL (36″ Wide) 4 BURNER MODEL (30″ Wide) FIGURE 15 36″ Cooktop INPUT RATES - NATURAL GAS / LP GAS (BTU/HR) BURNER LOCATION Right Front Right Rear Left Front Left Rear Center Hi 12,500 / 10,500 9,200 / 9,100 9,200 / 9,100 10,500 / 9,100 9,200 / 9,100 Lo 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 FIGURE 16 30″ Cooktop INPUT RATES - NATURAL GAS / LP GAS (BTU/HR) BURNER LOCATION Right Front Right Rear Left Front Left Rear Center Hi 12,500 / 10,500 9,200 / 9,100 9,200 / 9,100 9,200 / 9,100 ----------- Lo 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 1300 / 1300 ----------- High Altitude Notice The specified gas burner ratings typically apply to elevations up to 2000 feet.
