Operation
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts
longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range
must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before
cleaning, make sure all controls are in the ”OFF”
position. Disconnect power if you are going to
clean thoroughly with water.
Surface Burners
*
Note:
When replacing burner head, arrow must
be pointing towards back of range.
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they
occur and before they get a chance to burn in and
cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow these
steps:

clean.
Burner Caps
The surface burner caps should be routinely
removed and cleaned.
ALWAYS
clean the burner
caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps
clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven
flames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up from
the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps with
warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use.
Use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and
a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-
on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best
cleaning and to avoid possible rusting,
DO NOT
clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
Burner Head
If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a
straight pin.
DO NOT
enlarge or distort the ports.
DO NOT
use a toothpick to clean the ports. When
replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs
underneath the burner head with the outside edge
of the burner base. Make sure the tabs are not
aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.
Note:
For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft
Scotch Brite™ pad.
Cleaning Tip:
For difficult-to-clean burner caps
and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with
ammonia.
Burner Base
The base should be wiped regularly with hot
soapy water at the end of each cooling period.
DO NOT
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser,
or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak
the area with a hot towel to loosen the material,
then use a wooden/nylon spatula.
DO NOT
use a metal knife, spatula, or any other
metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.

cloth.
