Sealed Burners

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, believers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The cooktop does not lift up.

However, the burner heads should be cleaned after each use. The head portion of the burner has a removable cap that is easily removed for cleaning. (See page 8 for cleaning directions.)

The burner will operate effectively with or without the burner cap.

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, 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, walt several seconds and relight the burner.

° Refer to page 7 to adjust the Low setting, if needed.

•The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Burner Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

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 tempera-

tures of the gas flame,
