Any smearing or streaking on the surface may be removed
with lightly dampened paper towel and polished with a
soft dry cloth.
Metal Marks
Certain metal pots, especially those with aluminum
bottoms may leave marks on the surface, especially
if the pan is allowed to slide. Use the cleaner-
conditioner before the unit is used again to
prevent the mark from baking on the surface.
Caution
(Model 1954)
Product Damage Hazard
Ceramic glass cleaner-conditioner should be applied
regularly after use of other cleaners, otherwise over
a period of time the surface of the ceramic glass may
roughen, and cleaning will become progressively more
difficult. Staining may also occur.
Important Notes
1. In the event of the cooktop being scratched, soil will
collect and appear as fine lines. These are not fully
removable, but can be minimized by the daily use
of cleaner-conditioner. These scratches do not affect
cooking performance.
2. Soil from sugar solutions must be removed from the
cooktop before the syrup has set, otherwise it can
permanently bond to the ceramic surface.
CANNING
For best results, use a flat bottom, heavy gauge canner.
Canners with rippled bottoms will not work on electric
burners because the bottom does not make enough contact
with the element.
GAS COOKTOP
Gas cooktops are more forgiving than electric cooktops.
Most cookware will work, although tight fitting lids are
recommended for efficient cooking on both. Always
adjust the burner controls so that flames do not extend
past the edges of pots or pans.
Top Burners (Models 1947, 1955, 1956)
Your gas range is equipped with “state of the art” “Sealed
Gas Burners” and an “Auto-Reignition System”. The
sealed gas burners spread the heat evenly across the
bottom of the cooking utensil and provide infinite heat
control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner
flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that
burner. There are no standing pilots to light or adjust.
See this page for cleaning and maintenance of top burners.
Operating Range During a Power Failure
To light a top burner during a power failure, hold a lit
match to the desired burner head. Turn the corresponding
control knob to any numbered position. After burner
lights, adjust flame to desired setting.
The gas oven requires electricity to operate.
Removal of Burner Knobs
Apply a piece of duct tape to the surface of the knob for
better grip. Pull off by hand or with a pair of pliers.
Manual Burner Adjustment On Low
The burners have been pre-adjusted at the factory for
best performance. You may manually adjust the low
settings up or down by removing the control knob while
the burner is lit and in the low position. While holding
the valve stem so it doesn’t turn, insert a small flat blade
screwdriver into the stem and turn the small brass screw
slightly in either direction until desired flame height is
obtained. Valve must be adjusted so low flame licks
around burner cap no less than 1/8”. See figure 11.
1/8"

NOTE: Low adjustment will not effect flame heights at
other settings. If a top burner flame has been adjusted too
low, the electronic ignitor may start to spark while burner
is on. Readjust flame until ignitor stops sparking.
