General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.

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.

THE FIXED OVEN VENT IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the fixed oven vent cover.

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

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners on the cooktop. They can scratch the porcelain. Completely rinse any mild cleaners used from the surface or the porcelain cooktop may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
