Care and Cleaning
Cleaning cooktop and parts
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier.
Because the gas burners are sealed, cleanups are
easier when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.
IMPORTANT
The cooktop is not removable. Do not attempt
to remove or lift the cooktop.

Burner heads & caps

Cooktop

If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured
areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners on the cooktop. They can
scratch the porcelain. Completely rinse any mild
cleaners used from the surface or the porcelain
cooktop may become damaged during future
heating. Do not use spray oven cleaners on the
cooktop.

Burner grates

The burner grates are dishwasher safe and may be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive
soils before placing in the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow food, spills, cleaning agents or
any other material to enter the gas burner
port -Fig. 1-.
Your appliance is shipped with the burner heads
and burner caps in the correct locations. Before
using your gas range be sure to:
Follow the installation instructions before
installing.
Remove all packing tape from cooktop area.
To remove:
Should you ever need to remove the burner cap for
cleaning, simply lift the cap off the burner head.
To replace:
1. Pair up burner caps sizes with corresponding
burner heads.
2. Align burner cap ignition area to the burner head
ignition area. See illustration.
3. Place the burner cap vane slots onto the burner
head vanes.
Before using make sure the burner cap fits
flush with the burner head.
Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until
they have completely cooled and are safe to
handle. Do not operate the surface burners
without the burner caps.
To clean:
The ports (or slots) around the burner heads must
be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in
these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and
ignition of the burner— Always keep the burner
caps in place whenever the gas burners are in use.

Double ring burner heads & caps

The glass in the double ring burner is designed to
fit loosely. Clean with normal non-abrasive glass
cleaners and thoroughly dry before replacing.
