Burner Cleaning The slits in the burner rings of the cooktop must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame. Electrode The electrode of the spark igniter is behind each burner. When one burner is turned to “ON” to light, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.

Cooktop Cleaning If cooktop has discolored from high heat, advise customer to use the furnished cleaner (WB64X93) identified in Owner’s Manual. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum, or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

To Remove the Cooktop Cooktop removal is required for: • Gas piping inspection • Wiring service • Valve replacement • Jet holder service • Manifold service • Indicator light replacement • Bezel replacement 9.
STEP 3 Convert the Pressure Regulator Reverse Plastic Plunger WARNING Do not remove the pressure regulator from the cooktop. LP To convert the regulator from Natural Gas to LP gas or LP to Natural, remove the cap screw using an adjustable wrench and reverse the plastic plunger (make sure the plunger is firmly “swapped” and seated in the cap screw, see illustration to right). NAT NAT LP Cap Screw STEP 4 Check for Leaks WARNING Check for leaks before attempting to light the burners.
STEP 6 (continued) Burner Cap Burner Operation Two flames are used on all five burners. These dual flame burners have an upper ring of main burner ports which produce the main flame for high heat cooking from the “HI” knob setting to the “LO” knob setting. High to Low Flame Simmer Flame The bottom simmer flame is used for simmer heat cooking operations such as melting chocolate, holding food at serving temperature and simmering. Both flames are lit when the knob is between “HI” and “LO”.
