• Cooktop Cleaning
To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Cap
Assembly, and Burner Base
The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap assembly, and burner base
should be routinely cleaned, Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven flame. Follow instructions below,
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner
pan forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. if a spill occurs in one
of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp
cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Grates
The burner grates and wok stand are dishwasher safe. Any remaining soil may be
removed by gently scouring with a soapy scouring pad. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all
cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use
spray oven cleaners.
TO Clean the Burner Cap and Trim Ring
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps and trim
rings. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30
minutes. Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean
water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating.
TO Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to the electrode.
If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the electrode. If
the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because it will not
spark. Manual lighting with a match isstill possible.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner--DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Gas must
flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly, if
the gas opening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly and ring in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.
After cleaning make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. Turn the burner
on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact a Sears
Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
