operating the cooktop. Check that each burner has the right size head
and cap.
Refer to the “Assembling Your Cooktop” section for proper burner head

2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to “Lite.” Wait until you see a
flame.

The burners should be kept clean. Spillovers should be cleaned
immediately since they can clog the openings in the burners.

hot soapy water and then rinse it.

Melt Cap
NOTE: The melt cap is available on MGC9 series models only.
For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate simmer, the

smallest burner.
Remove the small burner cap and replace it with the larger melt cap for
delicate simmering. For melting, use the melt cap and rotate the knob
to the “Melt” position. For less delicate simmering, use the small cap.
DuraGuard™ Finish
The easy to clean DuraGuard™ finish helps keep your cooktop looking
new and bright. DuraGuard™ finish preserves stainless steel by
avoiding staining, discoloration and yellowing, while making even
baked-on soils easier to clean. Stainless steel with DuraGuard™ finish
should be cleaned the same way as traditional stainless steel. A soft
cloth or non-scratch sponge and warm soapy water will remove most
food soils.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first
