Surface Burner Grates
Make sure all surface burners are off and the surrounding parts are cool. Lift off the burner grates. Wash the grates with warm, soapy water. Use
Surface Burners / Porcelain Caps
The porcelain caps on the burners should be routinely removed and cleaned. Always clean after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
To clean, pull the burner straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a plasitc scrubbing pad for cooked on foods. For best cleaning and to avoid possible rusting of unfinished surfaces, do not clean in dishwasher. If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports since they will have a tendency to break. When replacing burners, carefully align the tab underneath the cap with the slot in the burner base.
Aluminum Base
The aluminum base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scr ape the aluminum base.
Stainless Steel Parts / Control knobs
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of the cooling period and with a liquid clean er designed for stainless steel. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleanser or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted material, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Power Failure
Since electronic ignition is used, electrical power failure will affect the unit. The electric igniters will not work. The unit surface burners can still be used, but only when the burners are lit manually with a match.
