Maintenance
Cooktop surface
The porcelain-enameled cooktop surface needs to be kept clean. We recommend
that you remove food spills immediately after they take place.
1.
Turn off all surface burners.
2.
Wait until all burner grates cool down,
and then remove them.
3.
Clean the cooktop surface using a soft
cloth. If food spills run into gaps of the
burner components, remove the burner
cap and the head, and wipe up the spills.
4.
When cleaning is finished, reinsert the
burner components, and then put the
burner grates back into position.
CAUTION
•
Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaner, which can scratch or damage the
enamel surface.
•
Do not remove the cooktop surface to clean it. The gas lines leading to the burner
manifolds can be damaged, resulting in a fire or system failure.
•
Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the range gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of carbon monoxide due to corrosion of the gas valves or
ports.
•
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease
buildup.
Burner grates and components
Turn off all surface burners and make sure they have all cooled down.

Return the burner heads to their
positions on top of the manifold valves.
Make sure a starter electrode is inserted
through the hole in each burner head.
NOTE
See the next page for detailed burner
component re-assembly instructions.
7.
Return the burner caps to their positions
on top of the burner heads. To ensure
proper and safe operation, make sure the
burner caps lie flat on top of the burner
heads.
8.
Reinstall the burner grates in their
respective positions.
9.
Turn on each burner and check if it
operates properly. After verifying that a
burner operates normally, turn it off.
