Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section.

Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easier than with conventional burners.

The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

delayed

Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.

To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads = Remove in the following order: (1st) surface Burner Grates, (2nd) Burner Caps and

(3rd) Burner Heads. Replace in the following order: Burner Heads, Burner Caps and Burner Grates.

Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface Burners without the Burner Caps and Burner Heads properly in place.

To Clean the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads= Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface Burner Caps and 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 OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the gas Burners are in

use.

To Clean the Burner Grates= Be sure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a potholder, cleaning cloths or other material on them. The cast iron burner grates can be washed in hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry the grates with a cloth; don'tput them on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure the grates are positioned securely over the burners.

To remove bureed on food, place the grates ina covered container or plastic bag. Add

1/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An abrasive cleaner can be used for stubborn stains.

To Clean the Contoured Burner Skirts

The burner skirts are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner skirt forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the well areas, be sure the area is cool and blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
