General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easier than with
conventional burners.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignitionor prevent the burner from igniting.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads -
Remove in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps
and (3rd) Burner Heads. Replace in the following order: Burner Heads, Burner
Caps and Burner Grates.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely
cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface Burners without
the Burner Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads- Use a soap-filled
scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner Caps and
Burner Heads. The ports (or slots) around the Burner Heads must be routinely
cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle
to clean the slots or holes. 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 ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS
keep the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the gas
Burners are in use.
To Clean the Burner Grates- Be sure burners and grates are cool before
you place your hand, a potholder, cleaning cloths or other material on them. The
cast iron burner grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and
dry the grates with a cloth; don't put them on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure
the grates are positioned securely over the burners.
To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag.
Add t/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive
cleaner can be used for stubborn stains.
To Clean the Contoured Burner Skirts
The burn er skirts are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burn er ski rt
forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs inone
of the well areas, be sure the area iscool and blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
