Care and Cleaning
Cleaning cooktop and parts
Your range is shipped with the burner heads and
burner caps in the correct locations. Before using
your gas range be sure to:
• Follow installation instructions before operating.
• Remove all packing tape from cooktop area.
Burner caps
Should you ever need to remove the burner caps
for cleaning lift the burner cap off the burner head.
Clean heavy soils with an absorbent cloth. Rinse
with a clean, damp cloth and immediately
thoroughly dry including the bottom and inside of
the cap. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They
can scratch the porcelain on the cap. Do not clean
burner caps in dishwasher.
When placing the burner caps, see IMPORTANT
note below.
Double ring burner cap
The glass in the double ring burner is designed to
fit loosely. Clean with normal nonabrasive glass
type cleaner and thoroughly dry before replacing.
• To avoid possible burns use care when
cleaning the cooktop. DO NOT attempt to
clean the cooktop whenever the cooktop or
burner heads are still hot.
• To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any
of the following cleaning instructions provided
before turning OFF all of the surface burners
and allow them to cool.
• To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt to
operate the surface burners without the
burner caps.
IMPORTANT
When placing the burner caps on the cooktop, be
sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of
burner heads. Improper flame size and uneven
heating may result when any surface burners are
turned ON and the burner caps are not seated
correctly.
Burner heads
Lift the burner cap from the burner head. The
surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop
and must be cleaned in place.
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the
burner heads and slots. To clean, first use a clean
DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food
from between the burner slots using a small
nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards
wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils
located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle
to clean.
Should you experience ignition problems it may be
that an ignition port hole is partially blocked with soil.
(See Figs. 1 & 2) . With the burner head in place, use
a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip
to clear the ignition port or ports.
