Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner heads and
burner caps can be removed for easy
cleaning.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed beyond the surface of the
burner base. When cleaning the cooktop,
be careful not to snag the electrode of
the spark igniter with your cleaning
cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
To avoid snagging a cloth on the spark
igniter, leave the burner heads in place
when cleaning the cooktop.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the cooktop.
A slight electrical shock might result
which could cause you to knock over
hot cookware.
Wash burner parts with an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner and warm water.
Soak stubborn soil. Dry them with a
cloth—do not reassemble while wet.
To reassemble, replace the burner head
first, then the burner cap and finally the
burner grate. Be sure the pins in the
burner head are properly located in the
burner base holes.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THE
BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER
PARTS IN PLACE.

Burner Grates
Porcelain enamel burner grates should
be washed regularly and, of course,
after spillovers.
The grates may be washed either in the
dishwasher or you may wash them in hot
soapy water and rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and
scouring pads to clean burner grates and
the vent grille. Dry the grates and grille
with a cloth—don’t put them back on the
cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container.
Add 1/4 cup (59 mL) ammonia and let
them soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates
and will gradually lose their shine,
regardless of the best care you can give
them. This is due to their continual
exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning the grate, make sure
the grates are positioned securely over
the burners and that they are stable
and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber
feet on the burner grates. If any of these
rubber feet should become damaged or
lost, replace them immediately.
