4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
A. Incorrect
B. Correct
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Grates
Models WFG525, WFG550, and WFG535
The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The
three grates interlock, using the hook formed into the grates. The
flat end of the middle grate drops onto the hooks on the other
grates as shown in the following illustration.
To install the grates, place the grate embossed "Left" on the left
side of the cooktop. Place the grate embossed "Right" on the right
side of the cooktop. Place the middle grate last, as shown in the
previous illustration.
Model WFG510
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.
Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose their
shine due to exposure to high temperatures.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates/coils. Aluminum
and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space
or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
Cookware
Characteristics
Aluminum
� Heats quickly and evenly.
� Suitable for all types of cooking.
� Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
� Heats slowly and evenly.
� Good for browning and frying.
� Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or
� Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Ceramic glass
� Heats slowly, but unevenly.
� Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper
� Heats very quickly and evenly.
� May leave copper residues, which may be
diminished if cleaned immediately after
cooking.
Earthenware/
� Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Stoneware
� Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain
� See stainless steel or cast iron.
enamel-on-
steel or cast
iron
Stainless steel
� Heats quickly, but unevenly.
� A core or base of aluminum or copper on
stainless steel provides even heating.
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
� Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
� Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
� For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
