CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Burner Heads

The holes in the burners of your range, ‘-”” 2

and the spark electrodes, must be kept l/.\/. ~\.\ \l” clean at all times for proper ignition and a

an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spi]lovers, which could clog these holes. Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover occurs, remove burner heads from range.

Remove the burner grate and burner cap. Then lift the burner head straight up.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner head upside-down in a solution of Imild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the burner head for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub it with soap and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.

For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub@ brand or Bon Ami($ brand. Rinse well to remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If the holes become ck)gged, clean them with a toothpick.

Do not clean the burner head in the self-cleaning oven.

Bef’ore putting the burner head back, shake out excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads are properly seated and level.

Burner Grates

after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of’ burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of’ the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Drip Pans (on some models)

Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans. Drip pans can
