Care and cleaning of the cooktop – GE PGP990SENSS User Manual

Page 16

The grill burner should be cleaned after

each use. It can be cleaned with a non-

abrasive pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse

and dry thoroughly before using again. For

heavy soil, the burner should be cleaned

first with a soapy steel wool pad, rinsed

and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-

cleaning oven for two hours.

NOTE: Check to be sure all burner ports are

open. To open clogged ports, insert a twist

tie directly into each port.

Grill Burner

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

The grate should be cleaned after each

use. It can be cleaned with detergent and a

plastic scrubber, such as Tuffy, or washed

in the dishwasher if burned-on residue is

first removed. For heavy soil, the grate can

be soaked in hot, soapy water mixed with

household ammonia.

Do not use metal brushes or abrasive

scouring pads or other scrubbers intended

to clean outdoor grills.

These will remove the finish as well as

scratch the grate. Do not clean in a self-

cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the

grate.

Grill Grate

Vent Grille: The vent grille lifts off easily.

Wipe clean or wash in the sink with mild

household detergents.

NOTE: On models with a white vent grille,

stubborn stains may be removed by soaking

the grille in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water

overnight. After cleaning, rinse the grille

thoroughly and dry it before replacing.
Filter: Turn off the fan before removing.

Turn the filter retainer clip to remove the

filter. The filter is a permanent type and

should be cleaned when soiled. Clean

in the sink with warm water and liquid

dishwashing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the fan without

the filter. The filter should always be placed

at an angle. As you face the front of the

cooktop, the top of the filter should rest

against the left side of the vent opening and

the bottom of the filter should rest against

the right side of the ventilation chamber at

the bottom. If the filter is flat against the fan

wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

Ventilation Chamber: This area, which

houses the filter, should be cleaned in the

event of spills or whenever it becomes

coated with a film of grease. The ventilation

chamber may be cleaned with a paper

towel, damp cloth or sponge and a mild

household detergent or cleanser.

Vent Grille and Filter

When replacing the filter, make

sure it rests, at an angle, on the

supports in the vent opening.

Latch it in place.
