Cooktop Features
A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting
depends on:
1) size, type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide”,
page 26).
2) type, quantity and temperature of the food.
3) burner used.
4) the cook’s preference.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners and
removable burner caps. There are no burner parts
under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your
cooktop has four (4) different burner cap sizes. Match
the pan size to the burner size.
Burner Caps
The burner cap is porcelainized steel. Make sure the
burner cap is completely seated into the burner base
before attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap
is not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the
flame may not burn completely or correctly.
Burner Grates
Your cooktop has two grates: one for the left side of the
cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop.
Position them as shown in the figure below. Do not
operate the burner without a pan on the grate.
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings:
