Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
ge.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Sealed Burner Assemblies
Turn all controls
OFF
before removing
the burner parts.
The burner grates, caps and burner
heads can be lifted off, making them
easy to clean.
When one burner is turned to
LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock
may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Burner Caps and Heads
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. You may scour with a plastic
scouring pad to remove burned-on
food particles.
Burner Heads
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop
must be kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these openings. Lift off
when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
burner heads in a solution of mild
liquid detergent and hot water for
20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains,
use a toothbrush.
After Cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and
heads back, shake out excess water and
then dry them thoroughly by setting in
a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replacement
The burner heads and burner bases are
labeled A, B and C to aid reassembly.
Replace the burner heads on the bases
matching the letters. Replace the caps on
the heads. Make sure that the caps and
heads are replaced in the correct location.
There is one small (A), two medium (B)
and one large (C) head and cap.
NOTE:
Before removing the burner caps
and heads, remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same location after
cleaning. The burner heads and burner bases
are labeled A, B and C to aid reassembly.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the
burner without all burner parts in
place.
After cleaning, make sure the
notch in the burner head is
positioned toward the electrode.
Rotate the burner head around the
burner base until it is level and
securely seated.
