Care and cleaning of the cooktop. ge.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Sealed Burner Assemblies
Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts.
The burner grates, caps and burner
heads can be lifted off, making them
easy to clean.
When one burner is turned to LITE, all
the burners spark. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any
burner while another burner is on. An
electric shock may result, which could
cause you to knock over hot cookware.
Burner Caps, Heads and Electrodes
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. To clean the burner caps,
wash in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. You may scour with a plastic scouring
pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Burner Heads
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop
must be kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these openings. Lift off
when cool.
To clean the burner heads, wash in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains, use a toothbrush. Use a
small sewing needle or paper clip to remove
any clogs in the slits.
Electrodes
This small metal rod produces the spark and
must be kept clean and dry to properly ignite
the gas.
To clean the electrodes, use a dry paper towel
or scrub pad.
After Cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and heads
back, shake out excess water and then dry
them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for
30 minutes. Check to make sure the electrodes
remain seated down in burner head.
Replacement
The burner heads and burner bases are
labeled A, B and C to aid reassembly.
Replace the burner heads on the bases
matching the letters. Replace the caps on the
heads. Make sure that the caps and heads are
replaced in the correct location. There is one
small (A), two medium (B) and one large (C)
head and cap. If the caps or heads are not
replaced in the correct locations, burners may
not ignite or perform properly.
CAUTION: Do not operate the burner
without all burner parts in place.
After cleaning, make sure the
notch in the burner head is
positioned toward the
electrode. Rotate the burner
head around the burner base
until it is level and securely
seated.
NOTE: Before removing the
burner caps and heads,
remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same
location after cleaning.
The burner heads and burner
bases are labeled A, B and C to
aid reassembly.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do not
use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the
appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
