COOKTOP
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.
The sealed
burner cooktop is designed with two contour
wells to catch and contain spills. Because of this design it is
not necessary to lift up the cooktop to clean underneath. To
prevent damage to the gas tubing or cooktop, do not
attempt to lift or remove the cooktop.
The cooktop featuring conventional surface burners lifts up
for easy cleaning of the burner box area.
To raise the "lift-up"
cooktop: When cool, grasp the front
edge of the cooktop and gently lift up until the two support
rods, if equipped, at the front of the cooktop snap into place.
CONVENTIONAL
SURFACE
BURNERS,
if equipped
Under no circumstances
are the surface burner assemblies
to be taken apart for cleaning. The surface burner assembly
can be removed to clean the burner box area.
The two surface burner assemblies are secured in ptace
during
transportation
with screws.
Once
the range is
installed, these screws may be removed to allow quick and
easy removal of the burner assemblies.
To lower the top: 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.
BURNER
GRATES
Burner grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Burner grates are durable
but may gradually lose their shine due to
usage and high temperatures.
When
installing
square
grates,
place
indented sides together so straight sides
are
at
the
front
and
rear.
Improper
installation
of the grates may result in
damage or chipping of the cooktop.
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 remove: Allow the burner assembly to cool. Lift up
cooktop. Grasp the burner assembly and rotate it slightly
toward the left to release the two tabs on the assembly. Then
lift the assembly and pull toward the back of the cooktop until
the air shutter ends on the assembly release from the valves.
To replace:
Insert the air shutter
ends on the burner
assembly over the valves and lower the assembly into place.
Be sure to secure the two tabs on the burner assembly into
the two slots on the burner support bracket which is mounted
to the burner box bottom. (NOTE: If the tabs are not properly
inserted into the slots, the assembly
may rock and the
burners may not light properly.)
SEALED SURFACE BURNERS, if equipped
The porcelain on the burner is durable but may gradually
lose its shine due to usage and high temperatures.
The sealed surface burners are secured to the cooktop and
are NOT designed to be removed by the consumer,
Select models feature two special SUPER HIGH SPEED
sealed burners located at the right-front
and left-rear.
Use
these burners to quickly bring water to a boil and when using
larger pans. See information on rating plate, located on the
lower range front frame behind the broiler door or lower
panel, to determine if your appliance features these burners.
