CARING FOR YOUR COOKTOP

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

NOTES:

To clean burners and burner caps:

Burner cap

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

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ven- tilation air.

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 ignitor switches to fail.

Surface burners

The burner caps should be routinely removed 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
