Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
cooktop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning,
make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Surface Burners
*Note:
When replacing burner head, carefully align the tab underneath the
cap with the slot in the burner base.
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they
get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow
these steps:
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.
• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.
