Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Gas Cooktops
Burner cap not properly seated
Burner cap properly seated
The burner consists of three parts: the burner
base, burner head, and burner cap. The
burner head and burner cap can be lifted off,
making them easy to clean.
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.
Surface burners should be cleaned routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could
clog the slots and holes in the burner heads.
The electrode is located at the rear of each
burner. Do not attempt to disassemble or
clean around any burner while another burner
is on. An electric shock may result.
To remove the burner parts:
1. Turn all controls OFF before removing any
burner parts.
2. When cool, you may lift off the burner grates,
burner caps and burner heads for easier
cleaning. Do not remove the burner bases.
Cleaning
Lift off burner parts only when cool. Wash in hot,
soapy water. You may use a plastic scouring
pad to remove burned-on food particles.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and
hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn
stains, use a plastic scouring pad or toothbrush.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring
pads to clean the burner parts as these may
clog the openings. Never wash burner heads
in your dishwasher. Doing so may cause them
to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean
at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will
not allow the burner to operate properly.
After Cleaning
Before replacing the burner parts, shake out
excess water and then dry them thoroughly.
To replace the burner parts:
Make sure that the burner parts are replaced
in the correct location.
1. Replace the burner head on top of the
burner base, making sure that the hole in
the burner head is properly aligned with the
electrode in the burner base. A small gap
between the base and head is normal.
2. Place the burner cap on top of the burner
head. Make sure that the burner cap is
properly seated on the burner head.

The electrode of the electronic ignition system
is positioned at the rear of the burner base.
When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not
to snag the igniter with your cleaning cloth.
Damage to the igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in a control knob while
cleaning. It could cause the igniter to spark.
Make sure that the white ceramic igniters
on the cooktop are dry and clean. Clean the
metal portion of the electrode with a soft cloth
or emery board.
Do not attempt to remove the electrode
from the cooktop.
