Burner Head
If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT
enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports.
When replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs underneath the
burner head with the outside edge of burner base. Make sure the tabs are
not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.
Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™
and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a
zip seal bag with ammonia.
Burner Base
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of
each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or
powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to
loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon spatula. DO NOT use a
metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.
Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.
Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.
Cooktop Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH
AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or stainless
steel cleaners on any surface that contains graphics. They could remove
the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean
cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto control panel.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF”
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly
onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for that
material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the
material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal
knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid
will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Brass Parts
All special ordered brass parts are coated with epoxy.
Cleaning and Maintenance

every day household cleaners that are not abrasive.
