Caring For Your Cook-top
Continued
Surface burner grates, burner
caps and griddle
1. Make sure all surface burners are off and the
surrounding parts are cool.
2. Lift off the burner grates and burner caps and
remove the griddle.
3. Wash the grates and caps with warm, soapy
water or in a dishwasher. Use a nonabrasive
plastic scrubbing pad or cleanser for cooked-on
food. Rinse and dry well.
4. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Use a
nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad for cooked-
on food.
NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads or
abrasive cleansers; they will scratch the non-
stick finish.
5. Replace the burner grates, burner caps and
griddle.
Surface burners
To lift up the cooktop, follow the instructions in
“Lit-up cooktop” on page 9.
Wipe off surface burners with warm, soapy water
and a sponge after each use. Use a plastic
scrubbing pad for cooked-on food.
If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do
not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a
toothpick to clean the ports.
Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in
color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy
when turned off, you may need to clean the
burners (see above or “Cleaning tips” on page lo),
or call a qualified technician for adjustment.
