Care and Cleaning

CAUTION:
Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the
indentation on the bottom side of the outer
cap/burner port is properly aligned with the
corresponding locating pin in the burner base.
Incorrect alignment will produce poor burner
performance.
Burner
assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all the controls to OFF before removing
the burner parts.
The electrode of the spark ignitor is exposed
beyond the top of the burner. When cleaning
the burner tray, be careful not to snag the
electrode of the spark ignitor with your
cleaning cloth. Do not hit the spark ignitor.
Be careful not to turn on any surface controls
while cleaning the burner tray. A slight
electrical shock might result which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.
The burner grates and burner caps can be
lifted off, making them easy to clean. Removing
them gives you access to the burner bases.
To avoid snagging cloth on spark ignitors,
leave burner caps in place when cleaning
the burner tray.
The burners have been designed in two pieces
for ease of cleaning. When the burner grate
and the burner are cool, remove the grate.
The burner caps can easily be lifted off.
Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly.
A bristle brush can be used to clean out the
burner ports, if necessary.
The burner grates are porcelain enamel. When
cool, they may be wiped clean using hot, soapy
water, then rinsed and wiped dry. When lifting
the burner grates, be careful as they are heavy.
Place them on a protected surface, so they
won’t scratch the surface of the cooktop.
