SEALED BURNERS

The sealed burners 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 burners should be cleaned after each use. The head portion of the burner has a removable cap that is easily removed for cleaning. (See page 6 for cleaning direc- tions.)

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

HIGH PERFORMANCE BURNER*

There is one high speed burner on your cooktop, located in the right 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 center or left rear position. The simmer burner offers a lower BTU 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. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop. To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in 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.

2.Left rear burner (10,500 BTUs).

3.Center burner (5,000 BTUs on HI, 650 BTUs on LO).

4.Right rear burner (9,200 BTUs).

5.Right front burner (12,500 BTUs).

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 ÒpoppingÓ 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.
