Use and Care Manual

Cooktop Operation

Flame Size

• When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.

• Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.

• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause

an orange flame during initial operation.

Power Failure

• If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five

minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.

• If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near

a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to “HI”. After burner lights, turn knob to

setting.

Cooktop

• To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and

wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.

• The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be

removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should

be cleaned after each use.

Approximate 1

1/2“ Flame Height

Simmer and Boil

• A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise

cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or

butter, and for cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.

• The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on

your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water

boiling and pasta cooking.
