To Raise and Lower the Top for Cleaning
1. Remove burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.
2. Grasp the front of the cooktop and then lift.
3. Lift the top high enough to fully raise the support rods. The Lift-up rods will
support the top in its raised position.
4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then dry.
5. Lower the top gently after lowering the support rod.
To Remove and Replace Burners for Cleaning
Your model will have one of the two burners types shown below. Follow the
instructions that correspond with the burners on your cooktop.
To Remove Burners (Figure 1)
1. Remove shipping screws with a Phillips® Head screwdriver. See illustration for
screw locations.
2. Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the locator tab is
released (front burners tilt right, rear burners tilt left). Move it toward the back
of the cooktop. This will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the
cooktop.
To Remove Burners (Figure 2)

screw locations.
2. Lift burner pair straight up and out.
To Replace Burners (Figure 1)

fit over the right valve, rear burners fit over the left valve on each side of the
cooktop).
2. Tilt burner so that the locating tab will slide into the slot on the support bar. Make
sure burners are properly seated on support bar and are level.
3. Replace shipping screws if desired.

When lowering the top,
grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be
careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO NOT
drop or bend the cooktop when raising or
lowering. This could damage the surface.
DO NOT turn the
burners on when the cooktop is raised for
cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely
lowered and securely in place before
turning on the burners.
