Use & Care
Cooktop
Notes:
•
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light
within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame
will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas
mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician
to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the
warranty.)
With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames are
acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not
necessary.
•
With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping”
sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a
normal operating sound of the burner.
•
If the control knob is turned very quickly from HIGH to
LOW, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is
cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the
OFF
position,
wait several seconds and relight the burner.
•
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring
or staining:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has
cooled as these spills may discolor the
porcelain.
Unlike a range with standard gas burners,
this cooktop
does not
lift-up nor is it
removable.
Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop for any reason.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly
positioned
before
cooking. When
installing the grates, place the tab
ends toward the center, matching the
straight bars.
Improper installation of the grates may
result in chipping of the cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate.
The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.
Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burner
grate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.
The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may result
in spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
Sealed Burners
The sealed burners of your range are secured to the cooktop
and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are
sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep
underneath the cooktop.
However, the burner should be cleaned after each use. The
cap portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning. (See
page 7 for cleaning directions.)
The burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base
for proper operation of the burner.
High Performance
Burner
There is one 16,000 BTU* high speed
burner on your range, located in the right
front position. This burner offers higher
speed cooking that can be used to quickly
bring water to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.
Simmer/Melt Burner
This burner is located in the right rear
position. The SIMMER setting can be
used to steam or poach foods, to cook
delicate sauces or continue cooking
covered foods. The ultra low MELT setting is
best for melting chocolate and butter.
Important:
When using the normal settings for preparing
foods, it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool
to the MELT heat setting.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
