To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Caps, and
Burner Bases.
The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap, and burner base should be routinely
cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
Follow instructions below.
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner pan
forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the four
well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinsewith a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Grates
The burner grates and wok stand are dishwasher safe. Any remaining soil may be removed
by gently scouring with a soapy scouring pad. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and
ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40
minutes. Rinsewith clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the grate porcelain
may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners.
To Clean the Burner Caps
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If necessary,
cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 minutes. Rub gently with a
soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry.
Remove all cleaners thoroughly or the burner cap porcelain may become damaged during
future heating.
To Clean the Burner Bases and Gas Openings
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 isdamaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because it will not spark.
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 ORANY OTHERMATERIAL TO ENTERTHE GAS OPENING. Gas must flow freely
through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. If the gasopening
orifice becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep
the burner cap assembly and ring in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
After cleaning make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. Turn the burner on to
determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact a SearsService
Center. Do not servicethe sealed burner yourself.
