The center burner (7,350 Btu/h) is ideal for direct heating of foods
on the griddle at lower power settings.
The small burners (5,000 Btu/h) are ideal for small quantities of
food or liquid and using small pots and pans. The lower power
allows more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting.
To Set:
1.
Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control
knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.
2.
Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner Cap Alignment
Always keep the burner cap properly fitted 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.
Standard Burner
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. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube
opening by always using a burner cap.
Burner ports
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as
shown below. 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.

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.
4.
Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins on
the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.
5.
Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
