SURFACE COOKING,
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.
The cooktop is designed with two con-
toured wells with removable porcelain
covered drip pans to contain spills. (See
page 15 for cleaning directions.)
Unlike a range with
standard gas burn-
ers, this cooktop
does not lift up nor is
it removable. Do not
attempt to lift the
cooktop for any rea-
son.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your range are se-
cured to the cooktop and are not de-
signed to be removed. Since the burners
are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or
spills will not seep underneath the cook-
top. However, the burners should be
cleaned after each use.
The head portion of the burner on select
models has a removable cap that is eas-
ily removed for cleaning. (See page 14
for cleaning directions.)
The burner will operate effectively with or
without the burner cap.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
BURNER (12,000 BTU*)
There is one high-
speed burner on your
range located in the
right front position. This offers high-
speed cooking that can be used to quick-
ly bring water to a boil and for large-quan-
tity cooking.
SIMMER BURNER
This burner is located
in the left rear position.
The simmer burner
offers a lower BTU flame for delicate
sauces or melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP
gas.

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 ab-
sorb 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 in-
correct. Contact a service techni-
cian 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 nec-
essary.
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 sev-
eral seconds and relight the burner.
The flame should be adjusted so it
does not extend beyond the edge
of the pan.
