Cooktop
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 war-
ranty.)
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.
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. Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop for any reason.
Sealed Burners
The sealed burners 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 should be cleaned after each use. The
head portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(See page 20 for cleaning directions.)
The burner heads must be correctly placed on the burner
base for proper operation of the burner.
High Performance Burner
(16,000 BTU*)
There is one high speed burner on your range, located in the
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.
Simmer Burner
This burner is located in the right rear position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or melting
chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
