Burner
assembly
The burner assemblies should be wiped clean
often.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed
when the top of the burner is removed. Be
careful not to push in any surface unit controls
while the top of a burner is removed. A slight
electrical shock might result which could cause
you to knock over hot cookware.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.
The burner grates and caps can be lifted off,
making them easy to clean. Removing them
gives you access to the burner base and burner
bowl. Wash the grate and cap in hot, soapy
water and rinse with clean water. Dry them with
a cloth—don’t reassemble them wet. When
replacing these parts, be sure they fit securely
into position over the burners.

grates
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t
put them back on the cooktop wet. When
replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned
securely over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4
cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes.
Wash, rinse well, and dry.
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of
cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.
Although they’re durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best
care you can give them. This is due to their
continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The
finish on the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
