Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your rangetop must be kept clean and maintained
properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF”
position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with
water.
Surface Burners
*Note: When replacing burner head, arrow must be pointing towards back of rangetop.
Wipe up spillovers 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 o 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 ames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up from the burner base.
Wipe o 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.
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 di cult 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 or 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.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight o . Wash in
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing rmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing
ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
Stainless Steel Parts
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be peeled o . All stainless steel body parts should be wiped
regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid cleaner designed for this material when soapy
water will not do the job. If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to
scrape stainless steel surface to remove encrusted material, soak area with hot, wet 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 surfaces.
Scratches are almost impossible to remove. 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.
