Figure 1: Grate installation
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and
align them into the cooktop recess.
IMPORTANT
• Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to
spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
• Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on
the cooktop before using the surface burners
(Figure 1). Grates should rest flush against each
other and against the sides of the recess.
• Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part
of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other
lining.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop.
Gas surface burners
The cooktop is equipped with four gas surface burners and
grates to support cookware over the burners.
Always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Set the flame size appropri-
ately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the
outer edge of the pan.
CAUTION
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other
material to enter the gas burner opening.
