Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer
when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking
equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept
clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make
sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.
*Note: When replacing burner head, carefully align the tab
underneath the cap with the slot in the burner base.
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 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 flames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up from the burner base.
Wipe off 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 difficult 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 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.
Cooktop Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or stainless steel cleaners on any surface that contains graphics. They could
remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly onto control panel.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed
for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT
