Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
cooktop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning,
make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Surface Burners
*Note: When replacing burner head, carefully align the tab underneath the
cap with the slot in the burner base.
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they
get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow
these steps:
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.
• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.
Burner Caps
The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.
ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps
clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull
burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps
with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for
cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to
avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
