To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads -
Remove in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps and
(3rd) Burner Heads. Replace in the following order: Burner Heads, Burner Caps and
Burner Grates.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled
and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface Burners without the Burner
Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads (all models)- Use a
soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner
Caps and Burner Heads. The ports (or slots) around the Burner Heads must be
routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or
needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER
MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep
the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the gas Burners are
in use.
To Clean the Burner Grates (all models)- Be sure burners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other material on them.
The cast iron burner grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly
and dry the grates with a cloth - don't put them on the cooktop while still wet. Be
sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners.
To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add
1/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive
cleaner can be used for stubborn stains.
To Clean the Cooktop and contoured areas of the cooktop (for models with
Porcelain Cooktop only)- If a spill occurs on the porcelain cooktop, blot up spill
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 mild cleaners used from the surface or the porcelain cooktop
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on
the cooktop.
To Clean the Ceramic Glass Cooktop (for models with Ceramic Glass
Cooktop only)- SeeCeramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance later in this
section.
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
