Care & Cleaning
Cleaning the cooktop and
surface burners
Cleaning surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the
burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean damp
cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from
between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush
like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp
cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully
cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with anything
hard or it could be damaged.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as
shown. Should you experience ignition problems it may
be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the
burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or
the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (Refer to
Fig. 1; round style shown; oval burner on some models
not shown).
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 firmly on top of the burner heads.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners
DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas orifice port opening.

Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will
prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See the

Cleaning recessed or contoured areas of 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.
Cleaning surface burner grates
Clean only after the grates are completely cool.
Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild
abrasive cleanser or clean in the dishwasher.
Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
Cleaning burner caps
Remove caps from burner heads after they have
cooled.
Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and
absorbent cloth.
Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following
cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch
porcelain.
Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
Do not operate surface burners without burner caps
properly in place. Read important notes.
