Surface Cooking, cont.

High Performance Burner - 12,000 BTU* (select models)

Ranges with one high

speed burner have the burner 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.

* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

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 burn- ers without a pan on the grate. The grate’s porce- lain finish may chip with- out 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.

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 techni- cian 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 nec- essary.

•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, wait several sec- onds and relight the burner.

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