SURFACE COOKING, (ONT,
COOKTOP
TO PREVENT THE COOKTOP FROM
DISCOLORING OR STAINING:
:> Clean cooktopafter each use.
>- Wipe acidic or sugary spills as
soon as the cooktop has cooled
as these spills may discolor the
porcelain.
The cooktop is designed with two con-
toured wells with removable porcelain
covered drip pans to contain spills. (See
page 14 for cleaning directions.)
Unlike a range with
standard gas burners,
this cooktop does not
lift up nor is it remov- _
able. Do not attempt ',!_ -_ J
to lift the cooktop for
any reason.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your range are
secured to the cooktopand are not de-
signed to be removed. Since the burn-
ers are sealed into the cooktop,
boilovers or spills will not seep under-
neath the cooktop. However, the burn-
ers should be cleaned after each use.
The head podionof the burner on select
models has a removable cap thatis eas-
ily removed for cleaning. (See page 13
for cleaning directions.)
The burner will operate effectively with
or without the burner cap.

BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improperinstallationof
the grates may resultin chippingof the
cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a
pan on the grate. The grate's porce-
lain finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner
flame.
Althoughthe burnergrates are durable,
they will gradually lose their shine
and/ordiscolor,due to the hightemper-
aturasof the gas flame.
A properly adjusted burner with
clean ports will light withina 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. C ontact a service tech-
nician to adjust. (Adjustments
are not covered by the warranty.)
With LP gas, some 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 shouldbe adjusted so
it does not extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
