COOKTOP
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the cooktop, do not use
canners or oversized cookware. The pan should not be
more than one inch larger than the burner grate. The
maximum pan size is a 10-inch skillet.
To prevent staining or discoloration, clean cooktop after
each use. Wipe acid or sugar stains as soon as the cooktop
has cooled as these stains may discolor or etch the
porcelain.
To remove:
1. When cool, grasp the two front corners and lift up.
2. Release the slot on the left rear corner of the cooktop
flange from the tab on the burner box wall.
3. Then move the cooktop toward the left to release the slot
on the cooktop flange from the tab on the burner box wall.
To replace:
1. Insert the slot on the right rear corner of the cooktop
flange over the tab on the burner box wall.
2. Lower the rear of the cooktop into place, inserting the slot
on the left rear corner of the cooktop flange over the tab
on the burner box wall.
3. Lower the top into place and apply slight pressure at the
two front corners to secure the cooktop in place.
Due to certain atmospheric conditions, the cooktop on your
appliance may show signs of rust on the underneath side.
This is especially true in areas of high humidity and salt air
areas.
To help eliminate this condition, caution should be taken to
make sure that the underneath side of the main top is kept
dry. This is especially important in areas of high humidity
where moisture accumulates. If you detect signs of rust, we
have found it helpful to spray the underneath side with a coat
of high-heat tested rustolium or silicone paint.
CAUTION: Remove top from appliance and spray in a
well vented area.
MAINTENANCE

BURNER GRATES

CAUTION: Do not operate a surface burner without a
pan on the grate. The porcelain finish on the grate may
chip without a pan to absorb the intense heat from the
burner flame.
To install grates:
1. Place grate on cooktop, locating each of the four grate
legs on top of the four black plastic grommets.
2. Press down at each corner to secure burner grate to
cooktop.
3. To prevent damage to the grommets, do not press down
on all four corners at the same time.
4. Install one side of the grate then install the other side.
