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 surface.
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.
•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.
