Power Failure
High Performance Burner
(select models) (12,000 BTU_)
There is one 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.
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to Lite.
3. Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired level.
Cooktop
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.
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. (See page 6 for cleaning
_ directions.)
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.
Conventional Burners
Freestanding ranges with conventional gas burners feature a
lift-up cooktop.
To raise the cooktop:
When cool, grasp the front edge
of the cook-top and gently lift up
until the two support rods, if i
I
equipped, at the front of the i
I
cooktop snap into place, i
To lower:
Hold the front edge of the cooktop and carefully push back
on each support rod, if equipped, to release the notched
support. Then gently lower the top into place. The support
rods will slide into the cooktop frame.
Simmer Burner (select models)
This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU_ flame for delicate sauces or
melting chocolate.
* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas,
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before
cooking. Improper installation of the grates may
result in chipping of the cooktop.
Be 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.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually
lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
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 war-
ranty.)
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.
