F LOORING AND LEVELING  
Flooring Under the Range  
Your range, like so many other household items,  
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings  
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving  
the range on this type of flooring, use care, and it is  
recommended that these simple and inexpensive  
instructions be followed.  
The range should be installed on a l/4-inch-thick  
sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:  
When the floor covering ends at the front of the  
range, the area that the range will rest on should be  
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than  
the floor covering. This will allow the range to be  
moved for cleaning or servicing.  
Leveling the Range  
Use a 1%” open-end or adjustable wrench to equally  
back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the  
sides of the  
the countertop. Carefully  
must be raised above the top of  
the range into its  
installation space. Observe that it is clearing the  
countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass  
measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the  
oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit  
level, take two readings, with the level placed  
diagonally first in one direction and then the other.  
Adjust the four legs carefully. Level the range front to  
back and side to side. The range legs must rest on the  
floor. The range must not hang from the countertop.

SURF ACE COOKING  
Electric Ignition  
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,  
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with  
constantly burning flames.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical power  
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.  
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface  
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted  
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE  
position. Use extreme caution when lighting  
burners in this manner.  
Surface Burner Controls  
The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off  
are located on the lower control panel in front of  
the burners.  
The two knobs on the left control the left front and  
left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control  
the right front and right rear burners.  
To Light a Surface Burner  
After the burner  
ignites, turn the  
knob to adjust the  
flame size.  
Push the control knob  
in and turn it  
counterclockwise to  
LITE. You will hear a  
little “clicking”  
noise—the sound of  
the electric spark  
igniting the burner.  
After Lighting a Burner  
Be sure the burners and grates are  
cool before you place your hand, a  
pot holder, cleaning cloths or other  
materials on them.

to Select Flame Size  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.  
When boiling, use this same flame size—1/2 inch  
smaller than the bottom of the cookware-no matter  
what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just  
as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious  
rolling boil. A high boil creates steam and cooks away  
moisture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the  
few cooking processes which need a vigorous boil.  
The flame size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.  
When frying or warming foods in stainless steel,  
cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down  
lower—to about 1/2 the diameter of the cookware.  
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.  
When frying in glass or ceramic cookware, lower  
the flame even more.  
When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless  
steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it  
makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than ’the bottom of  
the cookware.  
Top-of-Range Cookware  
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 ranges.  
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 usually work  
satisfactorily if they are used with 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 top-of-range cooking  
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat  
very slowly.

Oven-Vent  
Your oven is vented through  
duct openings at the center rear  
of the range. Do not block these  
ducts when cooking in the  
Vent openings and nearby  
surfaces may become hot.  
Do not touch them.  
Do not leave any items on  
the cooktop. The hot air from  
the vent may ignite flammable  
items and will increase pressure  
in closed containers, which may  
cause them to burst.  
Handles of pots and pans on  
the cooktop may become hot  
if left too close to the vent.  
it is important that the flow of hot  
air from the oven and fresh air to  
the oven burner be uninterrupted.  
Avoid touching the vent openings  
or nearby surfaces during oven or  
broiler operation—they may  
– become hot.  
Metal items will become  
very hot if they are left on  
the cooktop, and could  
cause burns.  
Do not leave plastic items on  
the cooktop-they may melt  
if left too close to the vent.

USING YOUR OVEN  
(continued)  
Oven Light  
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off.  
Oven Moisture  
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may  
cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless  
and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.  
Oven Thermostat Adjustment  
The temperature control in your new oven has been  
carefully adjusted to provide accurate temperatures.  
However, if this oven has replaced one you have used  
for several years, you may notice a difference in the  
degree of browning or the length of time required

NOTE: After an adjustment has been made to the  
OVEN TEMP knob, OFF and BROIL will not lineup  
with the indicator mark on the control panel as they  
previously did. This condition is normal and will not  
create a problem.  
Note to which mark the pointer is pointing. To make  
an adjustment, carefully loosen (approximately one  
turn), but do not completely remove the two screws  
that hold the skirt to the knob. Hold the knob blade in  
one hand and the outer skirt in the other hand.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control  
system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks to  
become familiar with you new oven’s performance. If you think an  
adjustment is necessary, see the Adjusting Oven Thermostat section.  
How to Set Your Range for Baking  
1. To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the  
correct position before you turn the oven on. If  
cooking on two shelves at the same tine, stagger the  
cookware for best heat circulation. Allow at least  
1-1 inches between edge of cookware and oven  
wall or adjacent cookware.  
2. Close oven door, turn OVEN TEMP knob to  
desired temperature and preheat oven for at least  
10 minutes if preheating is  
3. Check food for doneness at minimum time on  
recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat  
and remove food.

Preheating  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat  
means bringing the oven up to the specified  
temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set  
the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a  
higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10  
minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food  
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat  
from escaping.  
Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the  
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the  
oven. Allow 1 to 1 inch space between pans as well  
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If  
you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not  
directly above the other.  
Tin and stainless steel may not heat evenly.  
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by  
25°F. and use the recommended cooking time in the  
recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies  
or casseroles.

the best  
Cookies  
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without  
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked  
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have  
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the  
or the door of the oven.  
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven  
at a time.  
Pies  
Cakes  
For best results, do not bake pies in a shiny metal pan.  
The heat is reflected and the bottom crust will be pale  
and underdone. Frozen pies in foil pans should be  
placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since  
the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie  
crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.  
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe  
recommended will usually be crisper, thinner and  
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
Check the recipe to make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
Aluminum Foil  
Never cover a shelf entirely with a large cookie sheet  
or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat  
circulation and result in poor baking, A smaller sheet  
of foil may be used to catch a  
by placing it  
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.  
Don’t Peek  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do  
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes  
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as  
“bake 30-40 minutes.”  
DO NOT open the door to check until the  
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently  
during cooking allows heat to escape and makes  
baking times longer. Your baking results may also  
be affected.

ROASTING  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is easy,  
just follow these steps:  
3. Turn OVEN TEMP to desired temperature.  
Check the Roasting Guide for temperatures and  
approximate cooking times.  
4. Most meats continue to cook slightly while  
standing after being removed from oven. Standing  
time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes to  
allow roast to firm up, making it easier to carve.  
Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10”F.; to  
compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove  
roast from oven sooner at 5° to 10”F. less than  
temperature on guide. Remember that food will  
continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should  
be removed when the desired internal temperature  
has been reached.  
1. Position oven shelf at second from bottom position  
(B) for small size roast (3 to 5 lbs.) and at bottom  
position (A) for larger roasts.  
2. Check the weight of the meat. Place meat fat-side-up  
or poultry breast-side-up on roasting rack in a shallow  
pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan  
as close to the size of meat as possible. (Broiler pan  
with rack is a good pan for this.) Line broiler pan  
with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating,  
cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or  
basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these  
materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.  
Frozen Roasts  
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but  
allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (15 minutes per pound for  
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).  
Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness. Some  
commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing.  
Follow directions given on package label.

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above  
the food. Your range has a convenient compartment  
below the oven for broiling. It also has a specially  
designed broiler pan and rack that allow dripping fat  
to drain away from the foods and be kept away from  
the high heat of the gas flame.  
Distance from the heat source may be changed by  
positioning the broiler pan and rack on one of three  
shelf positions in the broiler compartment-A (bottom  
of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).  
Both the oven and broiler compartment doors  
should be closed during broiling.  
How to Broil  
1. If meat has fat or gristle near the edge, cut  
vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart.  
If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving a layer  
about l/8-inch thick.  
4. Close broiler door and turn OVEN TEMP knob  
to BROIL.  
5. Turn most foods once during cooking; (the  
exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place  
that side down on broiler rack and cook without  
turning until done). Time foods for about one-half  
the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to  
cook to preferred doneness.  
2. Remove broiler pan and rack from broiler  
compartment and place food on rack.  
3. Pull out drawer and position broiler pan in  
compartment. Placing food closer to flame  
increases exterior browning of food, but also  
increases spattering and the possibility of fats and  
meat juices igniting.  
6. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Remove broiler  
pan from compartment and serve food immediately.  
Leave pan outside compartment to cool.  
-- Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line  
your broiler pan and broiler rack.  
However, you must mold the foil  
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it  
just like the rack.  
Without the slits, the foil will  
prevent fat and meat juices from  
draining to the broiler pan. The  
juices could become hot enough to  
catch on fire. If you do not cut the  
slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Broiling Tips  
Use tongs to turn meat over—pierced meat loses juices.  
Steaks and chops should be at least l-inch thick for best broiling  
results. Pan broil thinner ones.  
Questions & Answers  
Q. Why are meats not turning  
out as brown as they should?  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary  
to always use a rack in the pan?  
Q. Should I salt the meat  
before broiling?  
A. Check to see if you are using  
the recommended shelf  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices  
and allows them to evaporate.  
Always salt after cooking. Turn  
meat with tongs; piercing meat  
with a fork also allows juices to  
escape. When broiling poultry  
or fish, brush each side often  
with butter.  
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends  
the meat over the pan. As the  
meat cooks, the juices fall into  
the pan, thus keeping meat drier.  
Juices are protected by the rack  
and stay cooler, thus preventing  
excessive spatter and smoking.

period of time indicated in the  
Broiling Guide. Turn food only  
once during broiling.

part of the pan.  
hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat  
dripping.  
5. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for  
very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if  
desired.  
2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around  
outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise  
through outer fat surface just to the edge of the  
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent  
piercing meat and losing juices.  
6. Frozen steaks can be conventionally broiled by

CARE AND CLEANING  
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient  
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to  
help assure safe and proper maintenance.  
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING  
ANY PART OF THE RANGE.  
Control Panel and Knobs  
Brushed Chrome Cooktop  
Clean up any spills or spatters with  
a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil  
with warm, soapy water.  
Clean the brushed chrome top  
with warm, soapy water or Bon  
brand cleanser and  
immediately dry it with a clean,  
soft cloth. Take care to dry the  
surface following the “grain.”  
To help prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a  
thin film of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess  
oil with a clean, soft cloth.  
Clean control panel with mild  
.
liquid dish  
Rub  
and a soft  
panel lightly.  
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives  
of any kind on the control panel.  
The control knobs may be removed for easier  
cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem.  
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.  
Dry and return the control knobs to the range,  
Lift-Up Cooktop  
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,  
especially grease, may catch fire.  
To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be  
lifted up and supported in the up position.  
Be sure all burners are turned off before raising  
the cooktop. Then remove the grates and drip pans,  
grasp the two front burner wells and lift up. Dual  
support rods will hold the cooktop up while you clean  
underneath it.  
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy  
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful  
not pinch your fingers.  
Oven Shelves  
You may clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser following  
manufacturer’s directions. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water  
and dry with a dry cloth.  
To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use soapy metal pads, following  
manufacturer’s directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse  
and dry.  
NOTE: Some commercial oven cleansers cause darkening and  
discoloration. When using for the first time, test cleaner on small part of  
shelf and check for discoloration before completely cleaning.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Range Top Burners  
The holes in the burners must be kept clean  
at all times for proper ignition and an even,  
unhampered flame.  
You should clean the burners routinely, especially  
after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.  
Burners lift out for cleaning, if the shipping screw  
was removed at installation.  
NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place  
to keep them from wobbling around during shipment.  
Remove and discard the shipping screw.  
To remove burners:  
r
Ports  
1. Grasp burner head and tilt it to the right to release  
the two tabs from slots in the burner support.  
2. Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away  
from the front of the range to free the air shutter  
from the gas valve orifice.  
Fla  
To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a  
solution of mild liquid detergent and water or a  
solution for cleaning the inside of coffee makers, such

brand. Soak the burners for 20 to 30 minutes.  
If the food doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub them  
with soap and water and a brush or plastic pad. Do not  
use steel wool or abrasive cleansers because they will  
clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If  
the holes become clogged, clean them with a small  
sewing needle or a small safety pin.  
Air Sh  
To replace burners:  
1. Slip the air shutter over the gas valve orifice.  
2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in the  
slots in the burner support.  
Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic  
dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner  
holes, and the strong action of the dishwasher  
detergent can damage the burner heads.  
3. Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner  
sits level and straight, and that the flash tube forms  
a straight line from the igniter to the burner.  
Before putting the burners back, shake out excess  
water and dry them thoroughly by setting them in a  
warm oven for 30 minutes.  
Burner Grates  
Although they’re 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.  
Porcelain enamel burner  
grates should be washed  
regularly and, of course,  
after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and  
rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a  
cloth—don’t put them back on the range wet. When  
replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned  
securely over the burners.  
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 get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a  
covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup  
ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,  
rinse well and dry.

sure the hinges are in the “out”  
position. Position the slots in the  
bottom of the door squarely over  
the hinges. Then lower the door  
slowly and evenly over both  
hinges at the same time. If hinges  
snap back against the oven frame,  
pull them back out.  
To remove the door, open it a few  
inches to the special stop position  
that will hold the door open. Grasp  
firmly on each side and lift the  
door straight up and off the hinges.  
Do not use the door handle to lift  
the door.  
Spillage of marinades, fruit  
juices, tomato sauces and basting  
materials containing acids may  
cause discoloration and should be  
wiped up immediately. Take care  
not to touch hot portion of the  
oven. When surface is cool,  
clean and rinse.  
. .  
NOTE: Be careful not to place  
hands between the spring hinge  
and the oven frame as the spring  
hinge could snap back and pinch  
your fingers.  
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:  
First, remove the door for  
easier cleanup.  
Inside of door: You may wipe  
spots with hot, soapy water or  
clean with a commercial oven  
cleaner. NOTE: Soap left on liner  
causes additional stains when the  
oven is reheated.  
Do not use oven cleaners,  
cleansing powders or harsh  
abrasives to clean the outside  
of the oven door.  
Oven Light Bulb  
The light bulb is located in the upper right corner of the oven. Before  
replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to range at the main fuse or  
circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the  
bulb cool completely before removing it. Do not touch a hot bulb with a  
damp cloth as the bulb will break.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Broiler Pan and Rack  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven  
or broiler compartment.  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from  
the broiler compartment. Carefully pour out grease in  
the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the  
broiler pan and rack in hot, soapy water.  
The broiler pan and rack can also be cleaned in the  
dishwasher.  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with  
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels  
or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak  
loose while the meal is being served. Scrub with  
soap-filled or plastic scouring pads.  
Broiler Drawer  
To remove:  
Broiler compartment  
1. When broiler is cool, remove rack and pan.  
2. Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops, then push  
it back in about one inch.  
3. Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out (lift  
the rollers located under the drawer over the roller  
guides in the range).  
To replace:  
1. Put the rollers under the broiler drawer behind the  
roller guide stops in the range.  
2. Hold the broiler drawer in the raised position as  
you slide it partway into the range. Then lower the

CONTINUOUS-CLEANING OVEN CARE  
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section. –  
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while cooking. The oven  
walls are finished with a special coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual  
manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaners,  
coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleansers and/or the use  
of oven sprays will cause permanent damage.  
The special coating works best on small amounts of  
spatter. It does not work well with larger spills,  
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures.  
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,  
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the  
touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as  
peaks, valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This  
rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from  
forming little beads or droplets that run down the side  
walls of a hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly  
streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when  
spatter hits the porous finish, it is dispersed and  
partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the  
exposure of oven soil to heated air and makes it  
somewhat less noticeable.  
This special coating is not used on oven shelves,  
oven bottom or inside oven door. The oven  
bottom  
inside of the oven door have a  
porcelain enamel finish. The oven door lifts off  
and the oven bottom comes out for cleaning away  
from the continuous-cleaning oven.  
When using a commercial oven cleaner to clean  
the removable oven bottom or the inside of the  
oven door, is important to remove the oven bottom  
and the oven door because the oven cleaner can  
damage the continuous-cleaning oven coating.  
Soil may not disappear completely and at some  
time after extended usage, stains may appear that  
cannot be removed.  
How to Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven  
Let the range parts cool before handling. We  
recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.  
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,  
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays,  
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous  
surface. These products will spot, clog and mar the  
porous surface and reduce its ability to work.  
Remove shelves and cookware.  
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the  
door and other range surfaces will get hot enough to  
cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool before  
replacing oven shelves.  
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or  
spatula—they could permanently damage the finish.  
If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the  
porous surface, as soon as the oven has cooled,  
remove as much of the soil as possible using a small  
amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use  
water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it  
as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with  
paper towels, cloths or sponges.  
Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or  
sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the  
oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish  
as it dries, apply water again and blot it with a clean  
sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working  
toward the center.

may accumulate on pots and pans.

and push to adjust the shutters, allowing more or less  
air into the burner tubes as needed.
