Right rear surface burner (9,200 BTUs).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 the surface.Sealed BurnersThe sealed burners are secured to the cooktop and are notdesigned to be removed. Since the burners are sealed intothe cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath thecooktop.However, the burners should be cleaned after each use. Thehead portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.(See page 7 for cleaning directions.)Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base forproper operation of the burner.High Performance Burner*There is one high speed burner on your cooktop, located inthe center or right front position. This burner offers higherspeed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to aboil and for large-quantity cooking.Simmer Burners*These burners are located in the left front position and/or theright rear position. The simmer burner offers a lower BTUflame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.Burner GratesThe grates must be properly positioned before cooking.Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping ofthe cooktop. To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers ongrate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.Do 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.Although the burner grates are durable, they will graduallylose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperaturesof the gas flame.Notes :• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will lightwithin a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame willbe 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, some yellow tips on the flames are accept-able. 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 anormal operating sound of the burner.• To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possibledamage to the cooktop or pan, the flame must beadjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of thepan.1 2 3 4
