Caring For Your Cooktop

Sealed surface burners and cooktop

Cleaning the surface burners

•You should routinely remove and clean the burner caps. Always clean the burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

•For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEAN-

ING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

•Gas must flow freely through the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. You must keep this area free of any soil and protect it from boilovers or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

•Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.

•Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

•If the knobs are removed while cleaning, be care- ful not to spill liquids through the holes in the con- trol area.

•Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the control area. Moisture can cause the ignitor switches to fail.

burners.
