Cleaning Inside
Remove the burner bowls and grates and lift off the
burner knobs. Then unlock the main top by releasing the
catches located in the burner bowl opening.
Grasp the main top between the burner opening and lift
upward.
The outside of the unit can now be wiped clean (the
burners can be lifted out for easier cleaning). As burner
box interior is porcelain enamel, it should be treated
accordingly. Allow to cool first, then wash with soapy
water and a sponge. Wipe dry with a towel.
Maintop Cleaning
If the maintop of your appliance has a porcelain enamel
finish, allow it to cool and then wash it with soapy water
and a sponge. Do not use harsh abrasives since they
may scratch or mar the finish.
Stainless steel tops may be cleaned with available
stainless steel cleaners, such as “Cameo Aluminum &
Stainless Steel Cleaner
®
”. Be sure to rub in the same
direction as the brushed grain finish of the top. Stubborn
stains can be removed by using a nylon scouring pad,
such as “Scotch Brite
®
” pad, and rubbing carefully in the
same direction as the brushed grain finish of the
maintop.
Top Burner Cleaning
Be sure the main top and burners are cool before
removing them. Remove the main top as explained.
Then remove the burners for cleaning.
Be certain the 4 burner mounting screws are removed
from the bracket at the burner head before attempting
burner removal.
If the shipping screws are still in place, they can be
removed with a Phillips screwdriver.
Grasp the burner at the burner head and lift upward with
a slight movement away from the burner control dials.
Wiping the burners following each use will remove spill-
over deposits and grease splatters before these soils get
a chance to harden on the surface. Burned on soil can
be cleaned by soaking the burners in a warm water and
dishwashing liquid detergent such as “Dove
®
” or “Lux
®
”.
A dishcloth or non-abrasive pad (such as Dobie
®
pad)
should be used to rub the burner caps before the soak-
ing period. Be sure the burners are dry, as water lodged
in the burner parts might cause an uneven flame or
interfere with automatic lighting.
If stains still remain after soaking you can soak any
heavily-soiled burners in a solution of two tablespoons of
“Dip-It
®
” per quart of water. Use a large pan and enough
water so the cap and base part of the burner assembly
can be completely immersed; bring water to a boil,
remove vessel from burner, and add measured amount
of “Dip-It
®
”. Immerse the burner in the hot solution and
soak for 20 minutes, no longer. Be sure the liquid
completely covers the cap and base portion of the
assembly. After 20 minutes, remove burner, cool slightly
and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Be sure hands are
protected to prevent burns from hot water. Be sure all the
solution is completely rinsed off both the inside and
outside of the burner. If some stains still remain, rub with
a “Dobie
®
” pad.
