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.
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 is easily removed for cleaning.
(See page 7 for cleaning directions.)
High Performance Burner
(15,000 BTUs*)
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 Burners
These burners are located in the center positions. The
simmer burners offer 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 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.
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 war-
ranty.)
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are accept-
able. 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.
