Operation Tips:
A yellow flame is an indication of
incorrect fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU
output and carbon build up can occur.
Flame appearance may change and BTU
output will lower when operating the
cooktop at an altitude above 5,000’.
Allow extra cooking time.
DO NOT
allow the tips of the flame to
extend beyond pan or pot edge. When
this occurs heat is wasted and possibility
of injury increases.
Remove cooktop covers to help keep the
underside of the cooktop clean. Place
strips of aluminum foil on the cooktop
floor pan and under burners.
DO NOT
restrict air flow of mixture tubes.
Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes prior to
use.
Cleaning Tips:
Clean all surfaces as soon as
possible after boil overs or
spillovers.
Use warm soapy water to
clean the burner grates,
cooktops, painted surfaces,
porcelain surfaces, stainless
steel surfaces and plastic
items on the range or
cooktop. Grit or acid-type
cleaners may ruin the
surface.
Use only non-abrasive
plastic scrubbing pads.

DO NOT allow foods containing
acids (such as lemon or tomato juice,
or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or
painted surfaces. Acids may remove the
glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills when
cooktop is cool.
Allow porcelain surfaces to cool before
cleaning. Burns from the heated surface
may occur or the cooktop porcelain can
crack.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a
warm detergent solution is generally enough to
keep the cooktop clean. Wash, rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooktop when
it is cool. Use a dry cloth or paper towel while
the surface is warm to the touch to clean splatters
or spills. Cleaning will be more difficult if spills
bake on to the surface. Glass cleaner sprayed
on a paper towel should be used for the cooktop
surface.
DO NOT spray glass cleaner directly on
the surface.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or
steel wool. Harsh cleansers like bleach, ammonia
and oven cleaner should NEVER
be used.
The
surface burner grate and caps should be cleaned
using the same guidelines as the cooktop surface.

Porcelain Enamel:
Porcelain enamel, a type of glass fused on
steel at a very high temperature, is not extremely
delicate but must be treated as glass. Sharp
blows, radical surface temperature changes, etc.,
will cause enamel to chip or crack. Some foods,
such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes and milk,
contain acids which can dull the finish of the
enamel. To avoid dulling the finish, wipe up the
spill before it is baked on. The surface is glass
and must be given consideration when cleaning.
Steel wool and coarse, gritty cleanser will
scratch or mar the surface. Any gentle kitchen
cleanser powder or grease cleaner will be
suitable. For further information on care of the
porcelain, call “Hopes Cultured Marble Polish”
at 1-800-325-4026
