Care and Cleaning
(continued)
Standard Twin Burners
(on some models)
CAUnON: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP
PANS (IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.
Grst6
On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop
lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts
and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped) can
be lifted off, maldng them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface
burners of your range
must be kept clean at all
uraes for proper
ignition and an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the
surface burners
routinely,
especially
after bad spillovers,
which could clog these
holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the ranee.
Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and
then lift out the surface burners.
Clean
these holes
thoroughly
on each
burner.
To remove bumed-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soalc the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub®
brand or Bon Ami® brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will
clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a sewing needle or twist tie.
Before putting the surfece burner back, shake our
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by sctdng it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure it is properly seated and level
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are “jumpy’ (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist tie.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
I. Be sure the burners
are turned off.
2. Remove the grates,
3. Grasp the two front
burner wells and lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
After deaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not
to pinch your fingers. Lower cooktop gently to avoid
blowing out pilot flames (on models with standing pdots).
