Cleaning and Maintenance
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.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They
could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy
water and a soft clean cloth.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your oven.
Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven interior. See the
“Self-Clean Cycle” section for complete instructions. NEVER USE
AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS,
OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
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.
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.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
OR RACK SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
