CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the sealed burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning
before turning off 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
quali fi 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.

7. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the
burner caps are properly placed and seated on
the burner heads. When placed correctly, the
burner cap is centered on the burner head and
will click into place on the burner head. You can
wiggle the cap to test placement, it should not
move off the burner head (see “Assembly of the
burner caps” on page 8).
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 ori fi ce port
opening.
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 (see Figure 10).
4. Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes
in the burner (see Figure 10).
5. Use a needle or fi ne wire to clean out the igni-
tion port (see Figure 10).
6. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean
cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
