To Clean the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are
sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean,
wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner

Cap Assembly, and Burner Base

The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap assembly, and burner base
should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions below.
To Clean the Burner Grates
Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder,
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't
put 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.
General Cleaning
(continued)
Before cleaning the
cooktop, be sure the controls are turned
to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
Heavy burned-on spills can be removed
with a razor blade scraper. Use caution
to avoid damaging surface.
Do not use commercial
oven cleaners on any part of the
cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts
could result.
