chocolate or butter. Some cooking may take place on the
LO setting if the pan is covered.

Cooktop
To

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.
Sealed
Burners
Tire 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 should be
cleaned after each use. (See page 6 for cleaning directions.:)
