Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Grill Burner

The grill burner should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with a non- abrasive pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before using again. For heavy soil, the burner should be cleaned first with a soapy steel wool pad, rinsed and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven for two hours.

NOTE: Check to be sure all burner ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a twist tie directly into each port.

Grill Grate

The grate should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as Tuffy, or washed in the dishwasher if burned-on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, the grate can be soaked in hot, soapy water mixed with household ammonia.

Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to clean outdoor grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the grate. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grate.

Vent Grille and Filter

Vent Grille: The vent grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in the sink with mild household detergents.

NOTE: On models with a white vent grille, stubborn stains may be removed by soaking the grille in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water overnight. After cleaning, rinse the grille thoroughly and dry it before replacing.

Filter: Turn off the fan before removing. Turn the filter retainer clip to remove the filter. The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in the sink with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the fan without the filter. The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening and the bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the bottom. If the filter

is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. The ventilation chamber may be cleaned with a paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and a mild household detergent or cleanser.

When replacing the filter, make sure it rests, at an angle, on the supports in the vent opening.

Latch it in place.
