Whirlpool SF317PEY, SF337PEY Surface burners and cooktop, Cleaning the contoured well areas

Page 17

Surface burners and cooktop

The range and burner box areas are specially designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy and convenient.

To clean the cooktop, wipe with a damp sponge and dry.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not remove the cooktop.

Doing so could result in product damage.

Cleaning the contoured well areas

The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner. If spills occur in the con- toured well section, blot up spill with a paper towel. Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry. When cleaning the cooktop area or around the burner base, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a cleaning utensil should catch the ignitor, it could damage or break the ignitor. If the ignitor is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light. When cleaning the cooktop, leave the burner cap in place to protect the ignitor from

possible damage.

Cleaning

the burners

 

The burner caps should be routinely removed and

 

cleaned. Always clean the burner caps after a

 

spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean will

area

prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.

To clean, pull the burner cap straight up from

 

the burner base. Remove the burner pan.

 

(Burner pan must be replaced over burner base

 

before replacing burner cap. Do not operate

 

burners without burner pan in place.) Clean

 

burner cap and burner pan with warm, soapy

 

water and a sponge. You can also clean with a

 

nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser. Do not

 

clean burner cap or burner pan in a dishwasher

 

or self-cleaning oven.

 

For proper flow of gas and ignition of the

 

burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,

 

CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATE-

tgnitor /

RIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING. If

 

the opening or the orifice, located inside the

 

opening, becomes soiled or clogged, use a cotton

 

swab or a paper towel to clean the area.
