KitchenAid 30-Inch 4 Burner Gas Rangetop, Commercial-Style Use & Care Manual

COOKTOP FEATURES

Sealed surface burners are designed to minimize gaps and 

seams that can allow liquids and spills to get under the cooktop. 

This design makes cleanup quick and easy.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and 

ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap 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 “Care 

and Cleaning” section.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by 

always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size 

and shape as shown above. 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.

The grill module consists of a cast-iron grill grate, a wave tray,  

a flame spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a  

drip tray.

When using the grill, follow the guidelines below:

 

■

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat  

on the edges to avoid curling.

 

■

Allow space between food on the grill. Crowding food will 

result in uneven cooking.

 

■

Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.

 

■

Steaks, chops, and hamburgers should be turned only once 

to avoid loss of juices.

 

■

For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should  

be turned several times.

 

■

To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant 

read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the 

food. This will avoid loss of juices.

 

■

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

 

■

To avoid damage to the grill, do not use aluminum foil, 

charcoal, or wood chips.

 

■

To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on  

the grill when in use. Food should be cooked directly on  

the grill grate.
