Stainlesssteel
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
stainless steel surface.
Inside and outside stainless steel can be
cleaned easily and quickly with a stainless steel
cleaner such as Revere Copper and Stainless
Steel Cleaner®.
For hard to clean soil, or film layers of grease,
use a stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in
the direction of the grain.
Spider andinsectwarning
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking
center and making it unsafe for use.
You should inspect the burners at least once a
year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
1.The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner flames appearing yellow.
2.The grill or range-top burners do not reach
temperature.
3.The grill or range-top burners heat unevenly.
4.The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exists, clean the burners immediately.
Replacing a rotaryigniter
Before replacing an igniter perform this
simple test.
1.Remove the drip tray (on some models).
2.From underneath the valve panel, look
upwards and locate the end of the igniter
wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the
wire and place the metal blade of a
screwdriver about 1/8″from the terminal
of the rotary igniter.
3.Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,
a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.
If there is no spark, replace the igniter.
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the
electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine
the electrode for grease and debris or see if the
electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the
top of the electrode bracket?
The rotary igniter may be replaced from the
front by removing the drip pan (on some
models) and reaching behind the valve panel
to unplug the igniter wire. Remove the igniter
knob and the two mountingscrews. (Reverse
the procedure to replace.) If removing the
valve panel is necessary begin by removing all
the control knobs, then remove the 4 corner
screws of the valve panel.
Burner
grates
(on some models)
The range-top burner grates are porcelain
enamel over cast iron for durability. To avoid
burns do not clean a hot grate. They may be
wiped while in place with hot, soapy water,
rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot
grate in water.
Due to rapid temperature changes the
porcelain may pop off the edges of the grates.
Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast
iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain
enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the
enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.
If you remove the grates for cleaning, care should be taken
in lifting them. They are very heavy. Place the grates on a
protected surface.
