Sealed Burners
The sealed burners 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 burners should be cleaned after each use. The
head portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(See page 8 for cleaning directions.)
Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base for
proper operation of the burner.
High Performance Burner*
There is one high speed burner on your cooktop, located in
right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking
that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for
large-quantity cooking.
Boil performance with the high speed burner is better with
the downdraft fan off. Once boiling begins, turn the
downdraft fan on to capture steam as necessary.
Simmer Burner*
This burner is located in the left front position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU flame for:
• Holding delicate sauces warm.
• Melting chocolate or butter.
The "Melt and Hold" performance of the simmer burner can
be enhanced by turning the downdraft fan on.
Always hold food at proper food temperatures. The USDA
recommends food temperatures between 140° - 170° F.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

Grease Filter
Install grease filter per
illustration. Unit must not
be operated without first
properly installing filter as
shown.
IMPORTANT: Do not
operate system without
filter. Filter should always
be placed at an angle. As
you face the front of the
cooktop, the top of the
filter should rest against
the left side of the vent
opening. The bottom
should rest against the
right side of the vent
chamber at the bottom.
Note: If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectiveness is reduced.
Burner Grates
The grates must be
properly positioned
before cooking.
Improper installation
of the grates may result
in chipping of the
cooktop. To ensure
proper positioning, insert
the center air grille first.
Make sure the bottom
legs fit into the locators
inside the filter cavity.
Next, put the right and
left side grates in place
so that the tab on the
grate fits over the tab
on the center air grille.
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.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
