Pans, Burner Caps and Burner Bases
(continued)
To Clean the Burner Cap
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If
necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of
clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to
the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or
damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner
will not light. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.
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 OPENING.
Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to
light properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner base and the burner cap
in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly
Make sure all parts are dry before placing back on the burner.
1. Replace burner base at it place. Put back burner cap. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
2. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not
service the sealed burner yourself.
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
- Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean
the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.
