Care & Cleaning
Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to perform satisfactorily must be
made by authorized servicer.
To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads - Remove
in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps and (3rd)
Burner Heads. Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface Burner Caps,
Burner Heads and Burner Grates.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled
and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface Burners without the Burner
Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads- Use a soap-filled scouring
pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner
Heads. The ports (or slots) around the Burner Heads must be routinely cleaned.
If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT
ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO
ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface
Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the gas Burners are in use.
To Clean the Burner Grates- The Burner Grates are dishwasher safe and may be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive soils before placing in the
dishwasher.
To Clean the Cooktop and contoured areas of the Cooktop- If a spill occurs on
or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners on the
cooktop. They can scratch the pocelain. Completely rinse any mild cleaners used
from the surface or the porcelain cooktop may become damaged during future
heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are
cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a delayed
ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
THE FIXED OVEN VENT IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove
the fixed oven vent cover.
