Cleaning
Part Materials to Use General Directions
Burner caps and
grates
Soap and water Cool before cleaning. Frequent cleaning with soap and water, and
non-abrasive pad prolongs time between deep cleanings. Be sure
to dry thoroughly.
Hard to clean burner
caps and grates
½ Cup ammonia Place burner caps and grates in plastic bag with ½ cup ammonia.
Do not pour ammonia into bag. Ammonia must remain in cup. To
avoid rust, do not soak grates in ammonia. Close bag tightly and
leave grate and caps overnight. Before bag is opened turn face
away to avoid breathing or eye contact with fumes. Remove
burner caps and grates from bag and rinse. Clean according to
instructions above.
Burner base Soap and a non-
abrasive plastic
scouring pad, cloth,
toothbrush or straight
pin
Cool before cleaning. Clean burner base with warm soapy water
and a clean cloth. If ports in burner base are clogged, clean with
toothbrush or straight pin. Do not use toothpick. After cleaning
replace burner caps and turn on burners to check for proper
operation. See
Operating Surface Burners
section for burner
operating instructions.

abrasive plastic
scouring pad
Drain fat, cool pan and grid slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and
grid stand in oven to cool.) Sprinkle with soap. Fill the pan with
warm water. Let pan and grid stand for a few minutes. Wash or
scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and grid may
