Remove in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps
and (3rd) Burner Heads. Replace in the following order: Burner Heads, Burner
Caps and Burner Grates.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have
completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface
Burners without the Burner Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads-
Use a soap-filled
scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner Caps and
Burner Heads. The ports (or slots) around the Burner Heads must be routinely
cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or
needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner—
DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY
OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING.
ALWAYS
keep the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever
the gas Burners are in use.
To Clean the Burner Grates-
The Burner Grates are dishwasher safe and may
be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive soils before placing in
the dishwasher.
To Clean the Ceramic Glass Cooktop-
See Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &
Maintenance on next page.
Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE.
Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
