Cooktop Features
A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting
depends on:
1) size, type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide”,
page 29).
2) type, quantity and temperature of the food
.
3) burner used
.
4) the cook’s preference.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners and removable
burner caps. There are no burner parts under the
cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your cooktop has
four (4) different burner cap sizes. Match the pan size to
the burner size.
Burner Caps
The burner cap is porcelainized steel. Make sure the
burner cap is completely seated into the burner base
before attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap is
not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the
flame may not burn completely or
correctly.
Burner Grates
Your cooktop has two grates: one for the left side of the
cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop. Position
them as shown in the figure below. Do not operate the
burner without a pan on the grate.
