They could be seriously burned.  
NOTICE:  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
CAUTION:  
Items of interest to  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances  
known to the state to cause cancer, birth  
defects or other reproductive harm,

and requires businesses to warn customers  
of potential exposure to such substances.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot  
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.  
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or  
volatile cleaning fluids.  
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance  
is in use.  
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp  
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.  
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to  
four of these substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,  
caused primarily by the incomplete  
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.  
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by  
a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will  
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances can be minimized further  
by venting with an open window or using the  
ventilation fan.  
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool  
before touching them or leaving them where  
children can reach them.  
• When you get your cooktop, have the installer • Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.  
show you the location of the gas shut-off valve  
and how to shut it off if necessary.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited  
if brought in contact with flame or hot

grounded by a qualified installer, in  
accordance with the installation instructions.  
Any adjustment and service should be  
performed only by qualified gas range  
installers or service technicians.  
surfaces and may cause severe burns.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.  
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded  
outlet only. Do not remove the round  
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt  
about the grounding of the home electrical  
system, it is your personal responsibility and  
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet  
replaced with a properly-grounded three-  
prong outlet in accordance with the National  
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord  
with this appliance.  
• Be sure all packing materials are removed  
from the cooktop before operating it  
to prevent fire or smoke damage should  
the packing material ignite.  
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted  
by a qualified service technician or installer  
for the type of gas (natural or LP) which is  
to be used.  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part  
of your cooktop unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick  
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.  
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner  
by covering the pan completely with a well-  
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a  
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type  
fire extinguisher.  
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put  
out by covering it with baking soda or, if  
available, by using a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
• Do not store flammable materials near the  
cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or  
other flammable vapors and liquids in the  
vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.  
• Never leave surface burners unattended at  
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does  
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.  
Excessive flame is hazardous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot • Keep all plastics away from burners.  
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns  
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near  
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a  
pot holder.  
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition  
of flammable materials and spillage, turn  
cookware handles toward the side or center of  
the cooktop without extending over adjacent  
burner or vent area.  
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF  
before removing the cookware.  
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh  
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over  
the sides of the pan.  
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be  
certain that the controls for all burners are at  
the off position and all grates are cool before  
attempting to remove a grate.  
• If the cooktop is located near a window,  
do not use long curtains which could blow  
over the burners and create a fire hazard.  
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the  
cooktop and call a qualified service  
technician. Never use an open flame to locate  
a leak.  
• Do not cover or block the area around the  
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear  
for proper ventilation and burner  
performance.  
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to  
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F  
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these  
temperatures usually protects against  
foodborne illness.  
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective  
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too  
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is  
added.  
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high  
flame setting.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in  
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are  
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware  
having flat bottoms large enough to properly  
contain food and avoid boilovers and  
spillovers, and large enough to cover burner  
grate. This will both save cleaning time and  
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,  
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on  
cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles  
that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot  
surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some  
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if  
applied to a hot surface.  
Do not touch glass surface while cooking. This  
surface may be hot enough to burn. During  
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or  
other flammable materials contact the  
cooktop.  
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping  
any surface unit areas until they have cooled  
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar  
spills are the exception to this. Please see the  
Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.  
Hot surfaces may include both the cooktop  
and areas facing the cooktop.  
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The  
cooktop can be scratched with items such  
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry  
and rivets on clothing.  
Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktops  
can lead to broken or shattered glass.  
When the cooktop is cool, use only CERAMA  
®
BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the  
®
CERAMA BRYTE Cleaning Pad to clean the  
cooktop.  
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a  
cutting board.  
To avoid possible damage, do not apply the  
cleaning cream to the glass surface when it  
is hot.  
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel  
to remove all the cleaning cream residue.  
Be careful when placing spoons or other  
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when  
it is in use. They may become hot and could  
cause burns.  
To minimize the possibility of burns, always  
be certain that the controls for all surface  
units are at the OFF position and the entire  
glass surface is cool before attempting to  
clean the cooktop.  
Do not place or store items on top of the  
glass cooktop surface even when it is not  
in use.  
Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on the cleaning cream labels.  
Do not operate the glass cooktop if the glass is  
broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may  
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk  
of electrical shock. Contact a qualified  
technician immediately should your glass  
cooktop become broken.  
Use care when touching the cooktop. The  
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat  
after the controls have been turned off.  
Do not stand on the glass cooktop.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ  
• Assurez-vous que la cuisinière est ajustée  
correctement par un technicien de service ou  
un installateur qualifié en fonction du type de  
gaz (naturel ou PL) qui sera utilisé.  
• N’essayez pas de réparer ou de remplacer  
toute pièce de la cuisinière sauf si cela est  
spécifiquement recommandé dans ce manuel.  
Toutes les autres actions de service doivent  
être référées à un technicien qualifié.  
• Ne laissez pas les enfants seuls ou non  
surveillés lorsqu’une cuisinière est chaude  
ou en marche. Ils pourraient être brûlés  
grièvement.  
AVIS IMPORTANT DE  
SÉCURITÉ :  
• La loi de l’état de Californie sur l’eau potable  
sécurisée et l’application des lois sur les  
produits toxiques exige que le Gouverneur de  
Californie publie une liste de substances qui,  
selon les connaissances de l’état, causent le  
cancer, les maladies congénitales ou autre  
lésion reproductive, et exige que les  
entreprises avertissent leurs clients de leur  
exposition potentielle à de telles substances.  
• Les appareils à gaz peuvent causer une  
exposition mineure à quatre de ces  
ATTENTION :  
Les articles  
substances, soit le benzène, le monoxyde de  
carbone, le formaldéhyde et la suie, surtout à  
cause de la combustion incomplète du gaz  
naturel ou des carburants PL.  
Des brûleurs correctement ajustés, ce qui est  
indiqué par des flammes bleuâtres plutôt que  
jaunes, réduiront au minimum la combustion  
incomplète. L’exposition à ces substances  
peut être réduite davantage en aérant avec  
une fenêtre ouverte ou en utilisant le  
ventilateur d’aération.  
• Lorsque vous recevez votre cuisinière,  
demandez à l’installateur de vous montrer  
l’emplacement de la soupape d’arrêt et la  
façon de la fermer en cas de besoin.  
• Demandez à un installateur qualifié d’installer  
et de mettre à la terre correctement votre  
cuisinière, conformément aux instructions  
d’installation. Tout ajustement ou entretien  
doit être effectué seulement par des  
installateurs de cuisinière à gaz qualifiés  
ou des techniciens de service.  
suscitant l’intérêt des enfants ne doivent pas  
être rangés dans les armoires au-dessus de la  
cuisinière—les enfants grimpant sur la  
cuisinière pour saisir ces articles pourraient  
être grièvement blessés.  
• Nettoyez la cuisinière avec précaution. Si une  
éponge ou un chiffon mouillé est utilisé pour  
essuyer les renversements sur une cuisinière  
chaude, faites attention d’éviter les brûlures  
causées par la vapeur.  
• Ne nettoyez pas la cuisinière avec des  
nettoyants inflammables ou volatils.  
• Ne nettoyez pas la cuisinière lorsqu’elle est  
en marche.  
• Evitez de rayer la cuisinière avec des  
instruments pointus ou avec des bagues  
ou d’autres bijoux.  
• Laissez refroidir les grilles des brûleurs et les  
autres surfaces avant de les toucher ou de les  
laisser là où les enfants peuvent les atteindre.  
• N’utilisez jamais la cuisinière comme planche  
à découper.  
• Ne portez jamais de vêtements lâches ou  
amples lorsque vous utilisez cet appareil.  
Faites attention pour saisir des articles rangés  
dans les armoires au-dessus de la cuisinière.  
La matière inflammable peut s’enflammer  
si elle entre en contact avec les flammes ou  
les surfaces chaudes et peut causer des  
brûlures graves.  
• Branchez votre cuisinière seulement sur une  
prise de 120 volts mise à la terre. Ne retirez  
pas la broche ronde de mise à la terre de la  
prise. En cas de doute concernant la mise à la  
terre du système électrique de la résidence,  
vous assumez la responsabilité et l’obligation  
personnelles de faire remplacer toute prise  
non mise à la terre par une prise à trois  
broches correctement mise à la terre  
conformément au Code national de  
l’électricité. N’utilisez pas de rallonge de  
câble avec cet appareil.  
• Pour votre sécurité, n’utilisez jamais votre  
appareil pour chauffer ou réchauffer la pièce.  
• Assurez-vous que tous les matériaux  
d’emballage sont retirés de la cuisinière avant  
de la mettre en marche, pour empêcher les  
dommages d’incendie et de fumée au cas où  
le matériau d’emballage s’enflammerait.  
8
• N’utilisez pas de l’eau sur les incendies de  
graisse. Ne saisissez jamais une poêle  
enflammée. Arrêtez les contrôles. Etouffez les  
flammes d’une poêle placées sur un brûleur  
de surface en la recouvrant entièrement d’un  
couvercle bien ajusté, d’un plateau à gâteau  
ou d’un plateau plat. Utilisez un extincteur à  
produit chimique sec multi-usages ou du type  
à mousse.  
Le graisse enflammée à l’extérieur d’une  
poêle peut être éteinte en la couvrant de  
bicarbonate de soude ou, s’il est disponible,  
en utilisant un extincteur à produit chimique  
sec multi-usages ou du type à mousse.  
• Ne stockez pas de matière inflammable près  
de la cuisinière. Ne stockez pas et n’utilisez  
pas d’essence ou d’autres vapeurs ou liquides  
inflammables à proximité de cet appareil ou  
de tout autre.  
• Ne laissez pas la graisse de cuisson ou autre  
matière inflammable s’accumuler sur ou près  
de la cuisinière.  
• Observez avec soin les aliments frits sur  
flammes hautes.  
• Si un mélange d’huile et de matières grasses  
va être utilisé pour la friture, mélangez avant  
le chauffage ou à mesure que les matières  
grasses fondent lentement.  
• Réchauffez toujours lentement les matières  
grasses et observez leur réchauffement.  
• Utilisez un thermomètre de friteuse  
lorsque cela est possible pour empêcher de  
surchauffer les matières grasses au-delà de  
leur point de fumée.  
• Utiliser des poêles de taille appropriée—  
évitez les poêles qui sont instables ou qui  
peuvent basculer facilement. Sélectionnez  
des ustensiles de cuisine avec des fonds  
plats, suffisamment grands pour pouvoir  
correctement contenir les aliments et éviter  
les débordements et les déversements, et  
suffisamment grands pour recouvrir les grilles  
des brûleurs. Cela réduira le temps de nettoyage  
et empêchera les accumulations dangereuses  
d’aliments, étant donné que les éclaboussures  
ou les déversements importants laissés sur la  
cuisinière peuvent s’enflammer. Utilisez des  
poêles avec des poignées qui peuvent être  
facilement saisies et qui restent froides.  
• Ne laissez jamais les brûleurs de surface sans  
surveillance lorsqu’ils sont réglés pour des  
flammes hautes. Les débordements excessifs  
causent de la fumée et des renversements  
graisseux qui pourraient s’enflammer.  
• Ajustez la taille des flammes des brûleurs de  
surface pour qu’elles ne dépassent pas du  
bord du conteneur. Les flammes excessives  
sont dangereuses.  
• Utilisez seulement des gants secs pour saisir  
les plats—les gants humides ou mouillés  
placés sur des surfaces chaudes peuvent  
causer des brûlures dues à la vapeur. Ne  
mettez pas les gants près des flammes vives  
pour soulever les plats. N’utilisez pas de  
serviette ou autre chiffon encombrant au lieu  
des gants de plat.  
• Pour réduire au minimum la possibilité de  
brûlures, d’inflammation de matière  
inflammable et de renversement, tournez les  
poignées des plats vers le côté ou le centre de  
la cuisinière, sans les placer au-dessus d’un  
brûleur adjacent ou une zone d’aération.  
• Eloignez tous les matériaux en plastique  
des brûleurs.  
• Pour éviter les risques de brûlures, assurez-vous  
toujours que les contrôles des brûleurs sont à la  
position d’arrêt et toutes les grilles sont froides  
avant d’essayer de retirer une grille.  
• Si la cuisinière est située près d’une fenêtre,  
n’utilisez pas de longs rideaux qui pourraient  
être projetés au-dessus des brûleurs et  
constituer un risque d’incendie.  
• Si vous sentez du gaz, coupez l’arrivée du gaz  
à la cuisinière et appelez un technicien de  
service qualifié. N’utilisez jamais de flamme  
vive pour rechercher les fuites.  
• Ne couvrez pas et ne bloquez pas la zone  
autour des boutons de la cuisinière. Cette  
zone doit rester dégagée pour assurer une  
bonne ventilation et une bonne performance  
des brûleurs.  
• Cuisez la viande et la volaille complètement—  
la viande à une température INTERNE d’au  
moins 160°F, et la volaille à une température  
INTERNE d’au moins 180°F. La cuisson à ces  
températures protège en général contre les  
maladies causées par les aliments contaminés.  
• Arrêtez toujours les brûleurs de surface avant  
de retirer les plats.  
• Les aliments à frire doivent être aussi secs  
que possible. Le gel des aliments congelés ou  
l’humidité des aliments frais peut causer le  
bouillonnement des matières grasses chaudes  
et leur déversement sur le côté de la poêle.  
• Utiliser la quantité de graisse la plus faible  
possible pour la friture à la poêle ou à la  
friteuse. Si l’ustensile est trop rempli de  
graisse, celle-ci peut déborder lorsque les  
aliments sont ajoutés.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES  
Faites attention quand vous nettoyez la table  
de cuisson. Si vous utilisez une éponge ou un  
linge humide pour essuyer des éclaboussures  
sur la surface de cuisson chaude, faites  
attention d’éviter les brûlures dues à la  
vapeur. Certains nettoyants peuvent produire  
des émanations délétères s’ils sont mis sur des  
surfaces chaudes.  
NOTE : Nous vous recommandons d’éviter  
d’essuyer la surface de cuisson tant qu’elle  
ne s’est pas refroidie et que la lumière  
indicatrice ne s’est pas éteinte. Les  
seules exceptions à cette règle sont les  
débordements de sucre. Veuillez consulter la  
section «Nettoyage de la table de cuisson en

surface burners on your cooktop with a match.  
Hold a lighted match to the burner; then turn  
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme  
caution when lighting burners this way.  
All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark  
even when only a single burner is being turned  
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the  
igniters are clicking.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical  
power failure occurs will continue to operate  
normally.  
All of the burner igniters spark while a burner  
is relighting.  
Push the control knob down and turn it  
counterclockwise to the LITE position.  
Do not operate a burner for an extended  
period of time without cookware on the  
grate. The finish on the grate may chip  
without cookware to absorb the heat.  
To light  
a burner  
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in  
either direction to adjust the flame size from  
HI to LO.  
Be sure the burners and grates are cool  
before you place your hand, a pot holder,  
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.  
To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise,  
as far as it will go, to the OFF position.  
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF  
when you finish cooking.  
All of the burners can be used for general  
cooking.  
The front right burner is the maximum  
output burner best for larger pans and to  
bring liquids to a boil faster.  
The smaller burners (center and right rear)  
will give the best simmer results. They offer  
precise cooking performance for delicate  
foods, such as sauces or foods which need to  
cook over low heat for a long time. They can  
be turned down to a very low simmer setting.  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you  
reduce heat.  
How to  
select  
flame size  
The flame size on a gas burner should be  
approximately the same diameter of the  
cookware you are using.  
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,  
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE  
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger  
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and  
only serves to heat the handle.  
12  
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is  
recommended because it heats quickly  
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an  
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with  
tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for  
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts  
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check  
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure  
it can be used on gas cooktops.  
Cookware  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor  
heating properties, and is usually combined  
with copper, aluminum or other metals for  
improved heat distribution. Combination metal  
skillets generally work satisfactorily if they are  
used at medium heat as the manufacturer  
recommends.  
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will  
give satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the  
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow  
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for  
cooking methods.  
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—  
those for oven use only and those for surface  
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).  
Glass conducts heat very slowly.  
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok,  
available at your local retail store.  
Wok this way  
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.  
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support  
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate  
may cause the burner to work improperly,  
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above  
allowable current standards. This could be  
dangerous to your health.  
Use a flat-bottomed wok.  
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas  
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the  
sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete  
combustion and can result in exposure to  
carbon monoxide levels above allowable  
current standards. This can be hazardous to  
your health.

Care and Cleaning  
Gas Cooktop  
Proper care and cleaning are important  
so your cooktop will give you efficient and  
satisfactory service. Follow these directions  
carefully in caring for it.  
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop,  
be sure all burners are off and cool.  
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO  
THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or circuit  
breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug,  
located beneath the cooktop and inside  
the cabinets.  
General  
information  
Some cooktop models are provided  
with cleaners. Follow the instructions  
on the containers.  
The control knobs may be removed for  
cleaning.  
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not  
soak. Avoid getting water down into the knob  
stem holes.  
Control  
knobs  
To remove knob, pull it straight up.  
Replace the knobs after cleaning.  
The knobs have a tactile grip surface, but no  
special cleaning is required.  
NOTE: The knob stem is D-shaped. Replace  
the flat side of the knob onto the flat side of  
the stem.  
Turn all controls OFF before removing the  
burner parts.  
Sealed burner  
assemblies  
Electrode  
The burner grates, caps and burner heads can be  
lifted off, making them easy to clean.  
Grate  
The electrode of the spark ignitor is behind  
each burner. When one burner is turned to  
LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to  
disassemble or clean around any burner while  
another burner is on. An electric shock may  
result, which could cause you to knock over hot  
cookware.

CAUTION: Do not operate the burner without

Replacement  
Burner caps  
and heads  
NOTE: Before removing the burner caps and  
heads, remember their size and location. Replace  
them in the same location after cleaning. The  
burner heads and burner bases are labeled B, C,  
D and H to aid reassembly.

Burner caps  
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,  
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may  
scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove  
burned-on food particles.  
Burner heads  
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop must be  
kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered  
flame.  
You should clean the burner caps, burner  
heads and burner bases routinely, especially  
after bad spillovers, which could clog the  
openings in the burner heads. Lift off when  
cool.  
Front of cooktop  
Large  
head  
and cap  
Extra  
large  
head  
and cap  
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner  
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent  
and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more  
stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.  
Replace the burner heads on the bases  
matching the letters. Replace the caps on the  
heads. Make sure that the caps and heads are  
replaced in the correct location. There are two  
small (H), one medium (B), one large (C) and  
one extra large (D) head and cap.  
After cleaning  
Before putting the burner caps and heads  
back, shake out excess water and then dry  
them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for  
30 minutes.  
Locator  
pins  
Pin slots  
When replacing, make sure the locator pins in the burner head  
are seated in the pin slots of the burner base. Rotate the burner  
head around the burner base until it is level and securely seated.

Care and Cleaning  
Gas Cooktop  
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed  
regularly and especially after spillovers.  
Burner  
grates  
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse  
with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—  
don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.  
Tabs  
The grates may also be cleaned in a  
dishwasher.  
After cleaning, replace the center grate first  
with its locking side tabs toward the front.  
Replace the side grates so that their side edges  
lock over the tabs on the center grate. Make  
sure the grates are positioned securely over the  
burners and that they are stable and level.  
Although they are durable, the grates will  
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the  
best care you can give them. This is due to  
their continual exposure to high temperatures.  
Do not operate a burner for an extended  
period of time without cookware on the grate.  
The finish on the grate may chip without  
cookware to absorb the heat.  
Rubber Grate Feet  
For stability, your cooktop has rubber feet on  
the burner grates. If any of these rubber feet  
should become damaged or lost, replace them  
immediately.
