Using the cooktop burners
To replace the grates correctly, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the notch on the back of the right grate.
2.
Orient the right grate so that it is on the right side of the cooktop with the notch
in the back.
3.
Gently lower the legs of the right grate into the corresponding dimples on the
cooktop.
4.
Gently lower the legs of the remaining two grates into the corresponding
dimples on the cooktop as shown in the illustration.

6 inches or less
CAUTION
•
Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom
diameter of about 6 inches or less on the
center grate. This cookware may tip over.
Use the rear burners for this small-sized
cookware.
•
Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop
and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns,
spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can occur if pots or pans
are bumped accidently.
•
If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
•
Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. They can melt or ignite. Heating a
sealed plastic container can cause a building up of dangerous pressure which can
cause the container to explode.
•
Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
Install the grates.
NOTE
Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the
openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three cooktop grates are designed to fit in specific positions on the cooktop.
For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.
•
Please place the grate marked with the letter ‘L’ on the left side, and the one with
the letter ‘R’ on the right side.
•
The middle grate must be installed with the filled-in section, marked ‘BACK’,
oriented towards the back of the cooktop.
The back of the right grate is notched to help you orient the grates correctly. See
the illustration below.
