Open Burner Models (somemodels)

To Raise and Lower the Top for Cleaning

The cooktop is hinged and can be raised to clean the area underneath. Be sure all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and burner grates are cool.

1.Remove control knobs, burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.

2.Grasp the front of the cooktop and lift. Some models have a swing-up rod to support the cooktop in its raised position.

3.Clean under the cooktop.

4.Lower the top gently after lowering the support rod (some models).

5.Replace bowls, grates and control knobs.

When lowering the top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO NOT drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.

DO NOT turn on the burners when the cooktop is raised for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely lowered and securely in place before turning on the burners.

To Remove and Replace Burners

The burners on your cooktop maybe removed for cleaning. Be sure all controls are turned to OFF and burner grates are cool before removing cooktop burner units.

To Remove Burner Assemblies

1.Remove the shipping screw from the support brackets. See illustrations for location of screws.

2.Grasp the burner head and tilt it slightly (A in Figure 1) to the right to release the tab from the burner support.

3.Lift up the support bracket (see Figure 2) slightly and pull it away from the front of the cooktop to free the air shutter from the gas valve orifice (B in Figure 1).

Check the lighter and burner ports (Figure 2). If they are clogged, use a wire or needle to clear them.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a vinegar and water solution for 20-30 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive cleanser and a damp cloth. Do not wash burners in a dishwasher.

To Replace Burner Assemblies

1.Slide the air shutter over the gas valve orifice (Figure 1).

2.Lower the burner assembly and hook the tab in the slot in the burner support. Make sure the burner assembly is properly seated and level.

3.Be sure both tabs are in the correct slots, the burner sits level and straight, and the flash tube forms a straight line from the igniter to the burner (Figure 2).

4.Replace shipping screws if desired. These screws are not necessary for the operation of the burner. They stabilize the burner during shipping of the appliance.

Retain the screws for later use in the event the range is moved.
