Coo op
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 porcelain.
Conventional Burners
Freestanding ranges with conventional
gas burners feature a lift-up cooktop.
To raise the
cooktop:
when cool,
grasp the
front edge
of the cook-
top and gen-

tly lift up until the two support rods, if
equipped, at the front of the cooktop snap
into place.
To lower: Hold the front edge of the
cooktop and carefully push back on each
support rod, if equipped, to release the
notched support. Then gently lower the
top into place. The support rods will slide
into the cooktop frame.
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 burners should be cleaned after each
use. (See page 9 for cleaning directions.)
Unlike a range with con-
ventional gas burners,
this cooktop does not lift-
up nor is it removable.
Do not attempt to lift
the eooktop for any rea-
son.
NOTE: The cooktop on slide-in ranges with
either conventional or sealed burners will
NOT lift up.
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 temperatures
of the gas flame.
Drip Pans - Optional
Removeable porcelain covered drip pans
are available for use with this appliance to
help contain spills. Call 1-800-688-8408 to
order.
NOTSS...
• Aproperlyadjustedbumerwithclean
ports will light within a few seconds.
ff using natural gas the flame will be
blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
ff 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 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.
• ff the control knob is turned very
quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame
may go out, particularly ff 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.
