6CooktopNotes:• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will lightwithin a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flamewill be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gasmixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technicianto adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the war-ranty.)With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames areacceptable. This is normal and adjustment is notnecessary.• With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping”sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is anormal operating sound of the burner.• If the control knob is turned very quickly from High toLow, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner iscold. 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 extendbeyond the edge of the pan.To prevent the cooktop from discoloring orstaining:• Clean cooktop after each use.• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop hascooled as these spills may discolor theporcelain.Unlike a range with standard gas burners,this cooktop does not lift-up nor is itremovable. Do not attempt to lift thecooktop for any reason.Burner GratesThe grates must be properly positioned before cooking.Lower the grates onto the range so that the bars match upand the rubber feet located at the four corners of the gratessit in the indentations on the cooktop.Improper installation or removal of the grates may result inchipping or scratching of the cooktop. It may also cause pansto be unsteady on the grates.Sealed BurnersThe sealed burner bases of your range are secured to thecooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since theburners are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will notseep underneath the cooktop.However, the burner base should be cleaned after each use.The head portion of the burner has a cap that is easilyremoved for cleaning. (See page 21 for cleaning directions.)Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base forproper operation of the burner.High Performance BurnerThere is one 16,000 BTU* high speed burner on your range,located in the left front position. There is a 12,000 BTU*burner located in the right front position. These burners offerhigher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring waterto a boil and for large-quantity cooking.Simmer BurnerSimmer burners are located in the center and right rearpositions. The simmer burners offer a lower BTU flame fordelicate sauces or melting chocolate.* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.SURFACE C OOKINGDo not operate the burners without a pan on the grate.The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without a pan toabsorb the heat from the burner flame.Use care when stirring food in a pot/pan sitting on the burnergrate. The grates have a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.The pot/pan will slide if the handle is not held. This may resultin spilling of hot food items and may be a burn hazard.Although the burner grates are durable, they will graduallylose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperaturesof the gas flame.
