CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the surface burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning
before turning o all surface burners and allowing
them to cool.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by an authorized
qualifi ed Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to
avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition
and an uneven fl ame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or con-
toured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent
cloth.
• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head
(see Figure 15). Clean with hot soapy water and
dry thoroughly
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy
water to the burner head. Allow time for the
soils to soften.
3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner
head.
4. Use a needle or fi ne wire to clean out the igni-
tion port.
5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean
cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the
burner head has fully seated back into place
and the burner cap is properly seated on the
burner heads. You can wiggle the cap to test
placement, neither the cap nor the head should
slide out of position (see “Assembly of the
Burner Caps” on page 14).
Important notes:
• The surface burner heads are secured to the
cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the
cooktop.
• Always keep the surface burner caps in place
whenever a surface burner is in use.
• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the
burner caps are seated fi rmly on top of the
burner heads.
• For proper fl ow of gas and ignition of burners
do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or
any other material to enter the gas orifi ce port
opening.
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns do not attempt to oper-
ate the surface burners without the burner caps.
Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
