General Care & Cleaning

To Clean the Recessed and Contoured Areas of the Cooktop - If a spill
occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent
cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner
Heads  -
  Remove in the following order: (1st) surface burner grate, (2nd)
surface burner cap, (3rd) surface burner head and (4th) surface burner drip pan
(if equipped).

Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface burner cap, surface burner
head and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). 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 surface burner
cap and surface burner head properly in place.

To Clean the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head and Surface
Burner Drip Pan (if equipped) -
 Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild
abrasive cleanser to clean the surface burner caps, surface burner heads and
surface burner drip pans (if equipped). The ports (or slots) around the burner
head 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 cap and surface burner
head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
