REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean: To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers. 1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to �General Cleaning� section. 2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth. 3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

Power� Burner (on some models)
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

ACCUSIMMER® Burner (on some models)
The right rear burner has an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking.

Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

Center the canner on the grate. Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time. For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the �General Cleaning� section. Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
