Cooktop Features

PROPER BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear,
blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady
and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean
burner, see instructions under

Care & Cleaning.

BURNER LOCATIONS

All Electrolux Icon range cooktops are equipped with
sealed burners. See Figure 2 for a detailed burner
layout for your model.
