Griddle Accessory
DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in
cold water.
Once the griddle has cooled, wash
with soap or detergent in hot water
in the sink. Be sure to remove all
food residue before cooking on
the griddle again.
Remove stubborn spots with a plastic
scouring pad. For best results, use only
those cleaning products which are
recommended for use when cleaning
non-stick surfaces. Do not use steel
wool or coarse scouring pads.
DO NOT wash in a dishwasher.

Igniters
Electrodes
It is important to keep igniter port
openings on burners clear and free of
obstructions to avoid ignition failure and
possible gas buildup. If the port openings
are blocked, use a twist tie or paper clip
to remove any clogs in the burner slits.
This small metal rod in the burner
produces the spark and must be kept
clean and dry to properly ignite the gas.
Use a dry paper towel or scrub pad to
keep the electrode clean.
Sealed Burner Module
Cooktop Surface:
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring
or staining:
• Clean the cooktop after each use.
• Wipe up acidic or sugary spills
as soon as the cooktop has cooled,
because these spills may discolor
the porcelain.
Sealed Burners:
The sealed burners of your cooktop
are secured to the cooktop module
and are not designed to be removed.
Since the burners are sealed into the
module, boilovers or spills will not seep
underneath the cooktop. However, the
burner heads should be cleaned after
each use.
Burner Grate:
The grate must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation
of the grate may result in chipping
of the cooktop.
Do not operate burners without a pan
on the grate. The grate’s porcelain
finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.
Although the burner grate is durable,
it will gradually lose its shine and/or
discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
Burner Caps:
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. You may scour with a plastic
scouring pad to remove burned-on
food particles.
Porcelain Burner Basin
This area is located under the grill and
surface burners and should be cleaned
after each use of the grill.
To remove light soil, clean with soapy
water or with a cleaner such as 409
®
.
For easier cleanup, soak paper towels in
a household cleanser, lay in the burner
basin and soak for at least a half hour
or longer.
To remove moderate soil, scrub with
Comet
®
, Bon Ami
®
, a soft scrub cleanser
or plastic scrubber.
To remove stubborn soil, spray with
an oven cleaner. Let soak overnight.
Wipe clean. Rinse and dry.
