COOKTOP FEATURES
FlexHeat™ Burner
This burner has the flexibility of two burners in one, providing heat
ranges from fast boiling to precise simmering.
■
Power: Select Hi for preparing large quantities of food or to
boil liquids quickly. For best results, rotate the knob to Hi in the
Power range.
■
Simmer: Use Simmer to slowly cook foods or to hold a
simmer. For best results, rotate the knob to the end of the
Simmer range. Only the small flame will light, making this the
best burner for simmering or slow cooking.

Accusimmer ® and Accusimmer ® Plus Burners
The Even-Heat™ Simmer burner is for simmering sauces. Position
the knob closer to Melt for a more delicate simmer level.
Accusimmer ® Plus
NOTE: The melt cap is available on WCG9 series models only.
Melt: For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate
simmer, the melt cap can be used in place of the standard burner
cap on the smallest burner. Set the knob to the “Melt” position.
Remove the small burner cap and replace it with the larger Melt
cap for delicate simmering. For less delicate simmering, use the
small cap.
EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron Grates
Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The
grates pivot upward and toward the back of the cooktop for easy
access under the grates.
The grates will stop once they are moved to their vertical (fully
open) position. A 20” (50.8 cm) minimum clearance from the
countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is
needed to fully open the grates.
Be sure to return the grates to their normal (down) position once
cleaning is complete.
The grates are removable for cleaning.
To attach the grates to their hinges, insert the grate slot over the
hinge pin on the back of the cooktop. Be sure to keep the grate
angled above the cooktop to avoid scratching the cooktop until
the grate is seated on the hinge pin. Then position the grate down
onto the cooktop.
