BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean.It is necessary to clean the burners if they
do not light even though the igniter clicks,if there has been a severe boil over,or when the flame does
not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the
burners.The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool,
remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in
hot soapy water,rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel,follow the directions
above that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed
burner ports, if necessary. Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not recommended, however, it may
become necessary to do so if the ports remain clogged after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to
disassemble the simmer ring from the base, remove the hex nut at the top of the simmer ring. Clean
the simmer ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-
assemble the parts using the hex nut. After cleaning,it is important to make sure the locating pin on
the bottom side of the simmer ring is properly aligned with the corresponding hole in the base and
that the locating pin (see insert) in the bottom side of the brass port ring is properly aligned with the
locating notch on the top side of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially
dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see fig.13).
IGNITERS
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not
to damage the igniter (see fig.14).
DRIP TRAYS & DRAIN TUBES
If you have a griddle or a grill there will be a tray liner. The
drip trays are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on
rollers so they are easy to remove and replace. To remove,
pull the tray forward. If something has spilled into the
trays it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to
prevent “baked on”food soil. Grease from the griddle or
the grill drains through the drain tube into the tray and
liner below.
Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the tray as
it can be a fire hazard.
Clean the tube and tray as soon as they are cool. Clean
with hot soapy water. For the tube use a soapy bottle
brush. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Bon-Ami or Soft
Scrub can be used. For stubborn stains use a soap filled
steel wool pad, or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or
Ajax®, rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
GRIDDLE
Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles,using a square edged spatula,while it is still
hot. Once the griddle has cooled to a lukewarm temperature,rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil
(do not use corn oil,it gets sticky). Thoroughly wipe the griddle with a heavy coarse cloth or burlap to
remove any remaining residue and food particles. If you have a grease build-up, use one tablespoon
of vinegar in a 1/2 cup of water, clean with a scouring cloth such as a Chore Boy® Scouring Cloth. For
heat discoloration use a stainless steel cleaner for heat stains such as Revere Ware® Stainless Steel
Cleaner. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If food soil or residue is cooked onto the griddle,
