Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Caps
& BUrner Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
IMPORTANT
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
CAUTION
Pay attention to not damage electrodes. Damaged electrodes may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
CAUTION
Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to perform satisfactorily must be made by an authorized Service Center.
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 and Burner Heads properly in place.
To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads-
Use a
SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface Burner Caps in place whenever the gas Burners are in use or not.
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.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &
Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is
essential to maintaining your Ceramic
glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.
