Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Appliances which require electrical power are equipped with a three- prong grounding plug which must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet. Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing. The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a properly grounded and polarized three- hole electrical outlet.

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 surface. 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 has a removable cap that is easily removed for cleaning. (See page 6 for cleaning directions.) Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base for proper operation of the burner. SIMMER BURNER* (SELECT MODELS) This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer burner offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate. *BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas. HIGH PERFORMANCE BURNER* 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. *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. To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in 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 warranty.) With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. 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. 5 Care & Cleaning CLEANING PROCEDURES • Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns. • To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use. • If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced. CAUTION BURNER CAPS AND SEALED GAS BURNERS Removable Burner Caps . Allow burner to cool. Remove burner cap and wash in soapy water with a plastic scouring pad. For stubborn soils, clean with a soap-filled, nonabrasive pad or Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part #20000001)** and a sponge. . Do not clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven. Sealed Gas Burner . Clean frequently. Allow burner to cool. Clean with soap and plastic scouring pad. For stubborn soils, clean with a soap-filled, nonabrasive pad. . Be careful not to get water into the center of the burner. . Use care when cleaning the ignitor. If the ignitor is wet or damaged the surface burner will not light. . To ensure even cooking performance, keep burner ports free of food soils/debris. BURNER GRATES - PORCELAIN ON CAST IRON . Wash grates with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad.
