Surface Cooking, cont.

Cooktop

To prevent the cooktop from discol- oring 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.

Unlike a range with standard gas burners, this cooktop does not lift-up nor is it remov- able. Do not attempt to lift the cooktop for any reason.

SEALED BURNERS

The sealed burners of your range are se- cured 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 should be cleaned after each use. The head portion of the burner has a removable cap that is easily removed for cleaning. (See page 12 for cleaning directions.)

Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base for proper operation of the burner.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

BURNER*

Thereisonehighspeed burner on your range, located in the left front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly

bring water to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.

SIMMER BURNER*

This burner is located in the right rear position. The sim- merburneroffersalowerBTU flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

BURNER GRATES

The grates must be properly positioned be- fore cooking. Align the grate with the support leg toward the center of the cooking surface. Lower the grate onto the range so that the rubber feet located at the four corners of the grate sit in the indentations on the cooktop. (See illustration below). Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate. The grateÕs 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.

LARGE POT/CANNING GRATE

A special canning and oversized cookware grate accessory is available for the Maytag GeminiTM Gas Range. Heat buildup under oversized cookware could damage the surrounding areas. The Large Pot/Canning Grate elevates the can- ner or oversized pot to reduce trapped heat.

Contact your Maytag dealer or call 1-800-688- 8408 (1-800-668-2002 Canada) to purchase the MGA6946ADB Large Pot/Canning Grate Accessory Kit.

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. (Adjust- ments 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 ÒpoppingÓ 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 should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
