To Clean the Burner Grates

Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a potholder, cleaning cloths or other material on them. The cast iron burner grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry the grates with a cloth; don'tput them on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners.

To remove burned on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/ 4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive cleaner can be used for stubborn stains.

with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. To Clean the Burner Cap

Remove burner cap. Use soap-filled pad or mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia- soaked paper towel for 30 minutes. Rub gently with a mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

To Clean the Removable Burner Head and Gas Opening (some models)

The ports (or slots) around the burner head must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.

Note: Ifthe electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.

For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING TUBE. Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. If the gas opening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

To Replace the Burner Head and the Burner Cap

Make sure the pieces are thoroughly dry before placing back.

1.Replace burner head and burner cap in their places. Make sure each burner cap and burner head are properly aligned and leveled.

2.Replace the burner grate.

3.Turn the burner on to determine if it lights. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact Sears or another authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
