Operation Tips:
1. A yellow flame is an indication of incorrect fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU output and carbon
build up can occur.
2. Flame appearance may change and BTU output will lower when operating the cooktop
at an altitude above 5,000 feet. Allow extra cooking time.
3. Do not allow the tips of the flame to extend beyond pan or pot edge. When this occurs heat
is wasted and possibility of injury increases.
4. Remove cooktop cover to help keep the underside of the cooktop clean. Place strips of alu-
minum foil on the cooktop floor pan and under burners. Do not restrict air flow of mixture
tubes.
Burner Grate
Removing the Burner Grate and Cooktop Cover for cleaning:
• Place a towel on the counter next to the cooktop.
• Remove the burner grate by lifting out of rubber inserts of cooktop cover and place on
towel.
• Remove the cooktop cover up by pushing cover toward rear of cooktop and lift cover at the
front edge. Place cooktop on the towel.
Cleaning
• Clean all surfaces as soon as possible after boil overs or spill.
• Use warm soapy water to clean the burner grates, cooktops, painted surfaces, porcelain
surfaces, stainless steel surfaces and plastic items on the range or cooktop. Grit or acid-type
cleaners may ruin the surface.
• Use only non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pads.
• Do not allow foods containing acids (such as lemon, tomato juice, or vinegar) to remain on
porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills
when cooktop is cool.
• Allow porcelain surfaces to cool before cleaning. Burns from the heated surface may occur or
the cooktop porcelain can crack.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a warm detergent solution is generally enough to keep the
cooktop clean. Wash, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooktop when it is cool. Use
a dry cloth or paper towel while the surface is warm to the touch to clean splatters or spills. Cleaning
will be more difficult if spills bake on to the surface. Glass cleaner sprayed on a paper towel should be
used for the cooktop surface. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the surface. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool. Harsh cleansers like bleach, ammonia and oven cleaner should NEVER be used.
The surface burner grate and caps should be cleaned using the same guidelines as the cooktop surface.
