General Care & Cleaning (confd)

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:

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.

A CAUTION

I Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a

delayed ignition or prevent the burnerfrom igniting.
