Care and Maintenance

Before cleaning the range, be certain that the burners and oven(s) are turned off and the grates and exterior surfaces are cool. Clean Griddle and Grill carefully while still warm. Always clean the range with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe spills off a hot area can result in steam burns.

BURNER GRATES

BURNER BASE

Two grates interlock, from front to back, to form a continuous surface. The burner grates are porcelain enamel over cast iron for durabil- ity. They may be wiped while on the cooktop with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry.

Due to the extreme temperatures and rapid temperature change that the grates are exposed to, in addi- tion to spillage of acidic and sugar- laden foods onto the grates, some deterioration of the porcelain enamel surface is normal and ex- pected over time. Deterioration may include discoloration and, in extreme cases, crazing (fine, hair- like cracks) and/or chipping of the porcelain. The extent of deteriora- tion will be directly related to the severity and amount of usage.

If cleaning necessitates removal of grates, care should be taken in lifting them; they are very heavy. Be sure to place the grate on a protected surface.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniters, burner caps, and ports clean and free of soil. It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around and within the burner, when there is a severe boil over, when the burner does not light, or when the electronic igniter clicks continuously even after the flame has been lit. See Cleaning Chart, Page 31.

When the burner and burner grate are cool, remove the grate. Grasp the burner cap and remove it. Refer to drawing above.

Clean the burner cap with a cleanser suitable for enamel. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip or needle to clear the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. If necessary, wash, rinse and dry burner according to the Cleaning Chart. Be sure to dry the burner base and cap thoroughly before reinstalling the burner cap.

Replace the burner cap, being sure to properly line up the locator tab with the notch in the burner base. Thoroughly dry the igniters to prevent nuisance or continuous sparking.

The trim strips are anodized aluminum; avoid cleaning products that contain ammonia. See Cleaning Chart, Page 32.
