BACKGUARD:
The range comes standard with a
three inch backguard installed. The backguard pro-
tects the wall from the effects of heat and splatter-
ing grease. A nine inch backguard is also available.
SPILL TRAY:
The spill tray catches any food that
falls through the cooktop grates.
GRATES:
The porcelain coated cast iron grates sup-
port the cooking utensils during cooking. They are
removable to allow the area below and around the
burners to be cleaned easily.
BURNERS:
See below for the size and location of
the different burners. The range generates a spark
to light the burner when you turn the knob to the
HIGH
position.
BURNER CONTROL KNOBS:
Use the knobs to turn
on the burners and adjust the flame size. The corre-
sponding Illumina
™
knob illuminates when a burner
is on. The center knob operates the oven.
TRIM RINGS:
Located behind each knob, they pre-
vent liquids from getting into the internal parts.
