Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
range 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
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 head and burner base and clean.
Burner Heads
The surface burner heads should be routinely removed and cleaned. ALWAYS clean the
burner heads after a spill-over. Keeping the burner heads clean will prevent improper
ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull burner head straight up from the burner base.
Wipe off 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. 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.Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and
to avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven. When
replacing the burner head, carefully align the locator key in the outer edge below the burner
ports with the small notch in the top front edge of the burner base.
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner heads and bases, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
For Tough Stains on Burner Heads:
•Mix Bar Keepers Friend® and water to make a paste. Coat area to be cleaned and leave for about 30
minutes.
•Scrub burner head with a green 3M® pad. It’s best to put the burner head on a hard surface with a towel under it, so it
doesn’t scratch the surface. Apply pressure when scrubbing. Rinse well with warm
water. Make sure paste does not clog burner holes on sides.
•Right side was cleaned using this method. NOTE: Not guaranteed to remove all stains. Stain strength varies
depending on type of spill, temperature of burner head when spill occurred, length of time spill remained on
burner, etc.
Burner Base
To clean, pull burner base straight up from the burner flange. Wipe off 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. When
replacing burner base, carefully align the three ribs underneath the burner base with the three grooves in the burner flange. Make sure the
burner base is level by aligning the rib that has a pin with the groove that has a hole.
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 heads and bases, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
Burner Flange
After the burner flange has cooled, it should be wiped with hot soapy water but do not allow water to run or drip in the large center
