USING YOUR COOKTOP, CONT.
CONTROL LOCATIONS
COOKTOP
1 | 2 | Fan | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
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
1.Left rear surface burner or grill (BTU 8,000 natural/7,500 LP).
2.Left front surface burner or grill (BTU 8,000 natural/7,500 LP).
3.Center rear surface burner (BTU 10,000 natural/6,500 LP).
4.Center front surface burner (BTU 10,000 natural/9,000 LP).
5.Right rear surface burner (BTU 10,000 natural/6,500 LP).
6.Right front surface burner (BTU 10,000 natural/9,000 LP).
IMPORTANT:
•When using a JGA8100 surface burner assembly with control locations #1 and #2, the control knob may be turned to a position lower than the Lo setting. (The Lo setting is set for the grill burner.)
•LP gas users only: Use the center rear and right rear burners to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter. Use the front burners to bring liquids to a boil or for large quantity cooking.
The sealed burners of your cooktop 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 heads should be cleaned after each use. (See page 9 for cleaning directions.)
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.
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 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 hi to lo, 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.
•Leave a minimum of 11/2" between side of pan and surrounding surfaces such as countertop, back splashes or side walls, to allow heat to escape and avoid possible damage to these areas.
•To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or
pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Do 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.
