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.

Unlike a range with standard gas burners,

this cooktop does not lift up nor is it

removable. De not

attempt to lift the

cooktop

for

any

reason.

Burner

Grates

Tile grates must be properly positioned

before

cooking.

Lower the grates onto the range so that the bars match up

and the rubber feet located at the four corners of the grates

sit in the indentations on the cooktop.

Improper installation or removal of the grates may result in

chipping or scratching of the cooktop. It may also cause pans

to be unsteady on the grates.

Sealed

Burners

The sealed burner bases 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 base should be cleaned after each use.

The cap portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.

(See page 17 for cleaning directions.)

The burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base

for proper operation of the burner.

High Performance

Burners

There is one 16,000 BTU_high speed burner on your range,

located in the left front position. There is a 12,000 BTU_

burner located in the right front position. These burners offer

higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water

to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.

Simmer

Burner

This burner

is

located

in

the center position. The

simmer burner offers a lower BTU_flame for delicate

sauces or melting chocolate.

BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

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.

Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burner

grate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.

The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may result

in spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually

lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures

of the gas flame.

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, slight 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.

"

The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend

beyond the edge of the pan.
