To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach,
or rust removers.
1.
Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to the “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown.
Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Grates
Models WFG525 and WFG550
The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The
three grates interlock, using the hook formed into the grates. The
flat end of the middle grate drops onto the hooks on the other
grates as shown in the following illustration.
To install the grates, place the grate embossed “Left” on the left
side of the cooktop. Place the grate embossed “Right” on the right
side of the cooktop. Place the middle grate last, as shown in the
previous illustration.
Model WFG510
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.
Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine
due to exposure to high temperatures.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space
or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
