care and maintenence

sealed burners

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.

When the burner and burner grate are cool, remove the grate. Grasp the burner cap and remove it.

burner caps:

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 on following pages. 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 locater tab with the notch in the burner base. Thoroughly dry the igniters to prevent nuisance or continuous sparking.

grill racks

Two grill RACKS forms a continuous surface. The burner racks are constructed of stainless steel that has been electro-polished to achieve a bright shimmering lustre.

Due to the extreme temperatures and rapid temperature change that the racks are exposed to, in addition to spillage of acidic and sugar laden foods onto the racks, some deterioration may include extreme discoloration.

The extent of deterioration will be directly related to the severity and amount of usage The bright lustre of the grill racks WILL fade after the first use and is a normal condition of stainless steel exposed to heat.

To clean, the grill rack may be wiped while on the range with hot soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry.

If cleaning necessitates removal of racks, care should be taken in lifting them. Be sure to place the grill rack on a protected surface.

The grill racks may be washed in a dishwasher.

CAUTION!

Avoid cleaning any part of the cooktop while it is hot. Do not clean any removable part of the cooktop in a self-cleaning oven.

NOTE—Before cleaning the cooktop, be certain that the burners are turned off and the grates and exterior surfaces are cool. Clean the griddle and grill carefully while still warm. Always clean the cooktop with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe spills off a hot area can result in steam burns.

grill racks (cont.)

The easiest way to clean the grill is while it is warm (not hot) after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a BBQ mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Use a brass grill brush and water on the grill grate in most instances. For stubborn stains, use a soap filled steel wool pad. Steam created as the water contacts the hot grill assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles, which will fall off and burn. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, it will be more difficult.

grill parts

After the grill has cooled, remove the racks, stainless steel radiant and U-shaped burner, heat deflector, removable heat shield, and drip pan.

Lift the U-shaped burner where it hooks to the brackets at the rear of the grill box. Pull burner from the burner hole and remove it from the gas connection. The burner may be cleaned, if desired, with a wire brush. All gas ports must be free of blockage for safe operation. Use a straightened metal paper clip, needle or wire to remove debris from portholes.

Lift out and wash the stainless steel removable heat shield, and grease drip pan tray. Use hot, sudsy water, rinse and dry.
