Grate installation
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and
align them into the cooktop recess.
IMPORTANT
• Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to
spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
• M
ake sure the burner grates are properly placed on
the cooktop before using the surface burners
(Figure 1). Grates should rest flush ag
ainst each
other and against the sides of the recess.
• Do
not line the area underneath the grates or any part
of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other
lining.
• Ne
ver place flammable items on the cooktop.
Gas surface burners
The cooktop is equipped with four gas surface burners and
grates to support cookware over the burners.
Always select cookware that is su
itable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Set the flame size appropri-
ately for the pan. Never allow fla
mes to extend beyond the
outer edge of the pan.
CAUTION
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other
material to enter the gas burner opening.
Using Proper Cookware
Figure 2: Testing cookware
The size and type of cook-
ware used will influence the
h
eat setting needed for best
cooking results. Be sure to fol-
low the recommendations for
u
sing proper cookware as
illustrated in Figure 2 and
Figure 3.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
th
e cookware (See Figure 2). Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the
burner grate (See
Figure 3).
Figure 3: Proper cookware
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Pan overhangs grate by
more than 1” (2.5 cm).
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond pan.
