OOKTOP
To prevent the cooktop from discol-
oring or staining:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acid or sugar spills as soon as
the cooktop has cooled as these
spills may discolor the porcelain.

URNERS
The sealed burners on your range are se-
cured to the cooktop cartridge and are not
designed to be removed. Since the burners
are sealed into the cartridge, boilovers or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.
However, the burner heads should be
cleaned after each use.

RATES
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 porce-
lain 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.
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 range or pan,
the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
