Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your rangetop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Make sure all burners are “off” before cleaning. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.

Wok Cast Iron Burner (If applicable)

For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be

sure the venturi tube remains dry.

Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable)

Wash the wok after each use in hot, soapy water. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pad as they can harm the protective seasoning. Dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the inside surface with a paper towel. Place over medium heat for 15 - 30 seconds. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Wipe off excess oil before storing in an inside cabinet. Do not store the wok pan and lid outdoors.

Porcelain Parts (Grate and Grate Support)

Allow the grate and grate support to cool to a safe temperature level. Wipe up spillovers as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. The grate and grate support are coated with a porcelain enamel finish for durability. Wash in hot, soapy water and rinse clean. For stubborn stains, use a mild abrasive cleanser or non-abrasive soap-filled pad. Abrasive cleaners used vigorously or too often can eventually scratch and harm the enamel.

Control Panel

DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

Control Knobs

MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Do not soak knobs. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
