COOKTOP FEATURES
CHROME ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
(ON SOME MODELS)
The chrome electric griddle provides the perfect cooking
surface for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, burgers,
sautéed vegetables, and many more family favorites. The
attractive low-stick surface is designed to make cleanup easy.
The chrome electric griddle system provides an evenly heated
cooking surface.
■
Be sure plastic film has been removed, and wash with hot
water before first use.
■
To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots
or pans on the griddle. Use only heat resistant plastic
or wooden utensils.
■
The griddle surface is ready to use and does not need
to be seasoned.
■
Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle,
resulting in an uneven cooking surface.
To Use:
The griddle light will turn off when the griddle has finished
preheating. The griddle light will turn on and off during use to
indicate that the griddle element is maintaining the selected
surface temperature.

Sealed Surface Burners
Sealed surface burners are designed to minimize gaps and
seams that can allow liquids and spills to get under the cooktop.
This design makes cleanup quick and easy.

Medium Burner
Simmer/Melt Burner
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 “Care
and 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.
