Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
Cooktop Surface
Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps after each use will help
keep it free from stains.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
For more information, see the “Sealed Surface Burners” and
“General Cleaning” sections.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas opening
for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by
always using a burner cap.
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
