Cleaning and Maintenance

Burner Head

If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin.

DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports. When replacing burner head, carefully align the 2 tabs underneath the burner head with the outside edge of burner base. Make sure the tabs are not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.

Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.

Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.

Burner Base

The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon spatula.

DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the aluminum base.

•Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.

•Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.

Control Panel

DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

Control Knobs

MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Stainless Steel Parts

Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be peeled off. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid cleaner designed for this material when soapy water will not do the job. If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel surface to remove encrusted material, soak area with hot, wet towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces. Scratches are almost impossible to remove. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Power Failure

If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate appliance during a power failure. Make sure surface controls are in “OFF” position.

WARNING

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure all controls are “OFF” and rangetop is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

WARNING

POWER FAILURE WARNING

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.
