Using and Caring for Your Cooktop

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around the home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

NOTES:

•Before cleaning make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

To clean burners and burner caps:

Burner cap

Ignitor

Gas tube opening

(orifice)

•If knobs are removed while cleaning, be careful not to spill liquids through holes in the control area.

•Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in control area. Moisture could cause igni- tor switches to fail.

Surface burners

•The burner caps should be routinely re- moved and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

•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 TUBE OPENING.

•Occasionally check the burner flames for proper size and shape as shown later in this section. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners.

NOTE: To check oven burner flames for proper size and shape, see the Installation Instructions also included with the range.

1.Lift the burner cap straight up from the burner base.

2.Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and powdered cleanser. Wipe dry. Do not clean burner cap in dishwasher.

3.If the gas tube opening or the orifice, located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

4.If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort port. Do not leave anything stuck in the ports.

5.After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports, replace the burner cap. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly aligned and leveled.

6.Check the burner after cleaning for proper lighting.
