Care & Cleaning

Figure 1

Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner Caps and Burner Heads

The Burner Grates, Burner Caps and Burner Heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame at each burner position. Refer to the following instructions.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Grate, Surface Burner Cap and Surface Burner Head - Remove in the following order; (1st) Center Burner Grate, (2nd) Surface Burner Grate, (3rd) Surface Burner Cap, (4th) Surface Burner Head (See Fig. 1).

Reverse the procedure above to replace the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head and Surface Burner Grate. Do not remove any burner parts from the cooktop until the burner parts have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface burners without the Surface Burner Caps, Surface Burner Heads and Surface Burner Grates properly in place.

To Clean the Burner Caps, Burner Heads and Burner Grates - Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface burner caps and surface burner heads. 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—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY

OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface burner cap and surface burner head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

Removing and Replacing the Warming Drawer (some models)

To Remove Warming Drawer:

1. Turn power off before removing the warmer drawer.

2.Open the drawer to the fully opened position.

3.Locate glide lever on each side of drawer, pull up on the left glide lever and

push down on the right glide lever (See Fig. 2).

5. Pull the Warming Drawer away from the range.

To Replace Warming Drawer:

1. Pull the bearing glides to the front of the chassis glide (See Fig. 3).

2. Align the glide on each side of the drawer with the glide slots on the range.

3. Push the drawer into the range until levers “click” (approximately 2”). Pull the drawer open again to seat bearing glides into position. If you do not hear the

Figure 2

levers “click” or the bearing glides do not feel seated remove the drawer

and repeat steps 1 thru 3. This will minimize possible damage to the bearing glides.

NOTE: The Warming Drawer will NOT operate while in the “Self-Clean” and “Oven Lockout” modes.
