Cleaning cooktop and parts
Fig. 1 - Cooktop burner head
Burner grates
The burner grates are dishwasher safe and may be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive
soils before placing in the dishwasher.
Burner caps
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 thoroughly dry 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. Refer to “Before setting
surface burners” in the “Surface Cooking” Section.
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.
Afterwards wipe 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 Figure 1) . 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.
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier.
The gas burners are sealed so cleanup is easy
when spillovers are cleaned immediately.
Cooktop
If a spill occurs on the recessed or contoured
areas, blot with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a
clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners on the cooktop. They can
scratch the porcelain. Completely rinse any
cleaners used on the porcelain cooktop may
become damaged during future heating.
