CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS
(IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.
Standard Twin Burners
(on some models)
On models with standard twin burners, the
cooktop lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped)
can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface
burners of your range
must be kept clean
at all times for proper
ignition and an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy
spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from
the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami
®
brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it
will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it
in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in
the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are “jumpy” (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist-tie.
Drip Pans
(on some models)
Remove the grates
and lift out the
drip pans. Drip pans
can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a covered
container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to
loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring
pad if necessary.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure they are
in the correct position.
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a self-
cleaning oven.
