3.If the spill is contained in the bowl of the grate support, just remove the bowl and clean in warm soapy water.

4.Lift the grate support off.

5.Wash parts in hot, soapy water and rinse clean.

6.If the spill has gone lower than the grate supports, draw out the drip pan and wash with hot, soapy water.

If ports on the burners are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports. When replacing burner caps, carefully align the tabs underneath the cap with the outside edge of burner. Make sure the tabs are not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.
