For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniters,
burner caps, and ports clean and free of soil. It is necessary to clean these
only when the flame does not burn blue completely around and within the
burner, when there is a severe boil over, when the burner does not light,
or when the electronic igniter clicks continuously even after the flame has
been lit. See Cleaning Chart, Page 31.
When the burner and burner grate are cool, remove the grate. Grasp the
burner cap and remove it. Refer to drawing above.
Clean the burner cap with a cleanser suitable for enamel. Use a wire, a
straightened paper clip or needle to clear the ports. Do not use a
toothpick; it could break off in the port. If necessary, wash, rinse and dry
burner according to the Cleaning Chart. Be sure to dry the burner base
and cap thoroughly before reinstalling the burner cap.
Replace the burner cap, being sure to properly line up the locator tab with
the notch in the burner base. Thoroughly dry the igniters to prevent
nuisance or continuous sparking.
The trim strips are anodized aluminum; avoid cleaning products that
contain ammonia. See Cleaning Chart, Page 32.
Two grates interlock, from front to
back, to form a continuous surface.
The burner grates are porcelain
enamel over cast iron for durabil-
ity. They may be wiped while on the
cooktop with hot, soapy water,
rinsed and wiped dry.
Due to the extreme temperatures
and rapid temperature change that
the grates are exposed to, in addi-
tion to spillage of acidic and sugar-
laden foods onto the grates, some
deterioration of the porcelain
enamel surface is normal and ex-
pected over time. Deterioration
may include discoloration and, in
extreme cases, crazing (fine, hair-
like cracks) and/or chipping of the
porcelain. The extent of deteriora-
tion will be directly related to the
severity and amount of usage.
If cleaning necessitates removal of
grates,
care should be taken in
lifting them; they are very
heavy.
Be sure to place the grate
on a protected surface.
Before cleaning the range, be certain that the burners and oven(s) are turned off and the grates and exterior
surfaces are cool. Clean Griddle and Grill carefully while still warm. Always clean the range with caution.
A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe spills off a hot area can result in steam burns.
